In the windows machines usually are used two protocols: IPX/SPX and NetBEUI for connecting the MS network, while for samba is request the stacks TCP/IP. In the Linux box must be installed the TCP/IP (naturally), but when you login in a box with the name 'paul' and try /home/paul/$ smbclient -L my_host samba identify 'paul' and the 'homes' share is the home of paul (/home/paul) therefore if you use a login_name in a windows pc as 'paul' you can be access to the listing of shares resources, otherwise no. whith security=share instead the community can view (only VIEW) the resources. If you want limitate the access from other networks can use allow hosts = 193.xxx. 141.xxx. >> perhaps there is another possibility: you can use the username.map >> in the samba config > >What is username.map?
