The user must have the right to enable sharing. I would not give any "normal" user that right! >One possible solution I considered is "Hidden Administrative Shares," >e.g. C$ for a C drive. I've never gotten C$ to work, You must use an admintrative account. That account must have the right to log on remotely. Yepp. Windows permissions are much more finer than unix world thinks... If that PC is part of a Domain/ADS "add" power of 4 of problems... >however, on this particular Windows XP host, nor have I found evidence >of any hidden administrative share on this system. >When I try to log onto C$ with >smbclient I get the following error: > tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME You know the difference MS makes between net use * \\host\share net use * \\host\share\ and the "beatifull" error message you get? But of cause: An stupid paranoid admin may have removed Admin-Shares. >(I get a similar error message attempting to back up C$ using >backuppc). Check the permission. YIC: Of cource the remote account MUST have a password! XP checks this and will not allow such acconut to open anything remotely (One thing MS did right...?) default "guest" acccount is disabled too.
