I've been running sambades on a bo box which I upgraded to hamm this evening. The box provides file & printing services to two Win95 boxes and an NT box, hence the need for encryption.
On hamm, I created the smbpasswd file with mksmbpasswd and set passwords for the users. Previously I had no "security =" set, which defaults to share-level, I believe. The 95 boxes would remember their passwords and reconnect shares without prompting (desirable), while the NT box would need to be reminded once on login then would get everything else ok (acceptable). Now with samba in hamm, NT requires the password re-entered for every share, and actually doesn't bother to prompt me when trying to use the printer, and just says it can't print. So I changed to "security = user", which makes NT happy as punch (never checks my password with me now, because it is the same as my NT login password). However, now 95 users have to supply their network password once, which is undesirable. Once entered it seems happy enough, but I would prefer that those users didn't have to enter a password. Any suggestions for a solution? thanks, hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
