http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi all ! I have samba server(Fedora 11) here,but when I want to access to it from WindowXP ,the first time you need to tap in user name and password.But the next time ,you automatically log in Samba server with the user name as the first time you used. But I have not clicked the "Remeber me " option when I logged in. I want to switch user when I want to log in samba,does anybody know what is wrong ? Any advice is welcome ,thank you ! Details: security = user passdb backend = tdbsam wins support = yes [samba_folder] path = /samba_folder read only = yes writable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no (HowTos)

samba private and guest shares 3 years 30 weeks ago

I am trying to configure samba to have 1 private share (with password promt) and 1 guest share without any password promt. My samba config is:

Code: [global] workgroup = workgroup server string = Fedora File Server

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50

        security = user

I'm running samba on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, I've some folders on samba share and created some user to access it, but suddenly some of the user are not able to access it for a certain time only.

For i.e:

There are 5 users as A,B,C,D,E and there are two folders in samba share name as "test" and "develop"

"test" doesn't have any user access password but "develop" has user access with password.

Assalam o Alaikum! After configuring and starting service of samba, when I access shared folder from windows XP it gives this error " Network Route was not found". My server IP 192.168.1.252, client is on same network.

selinux is disabled smb,conf:

Code: workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server Version %v

; netbios name = MYSERVER

interfaces = eth0 192.168.1.252/24 hos

Hi list,

I once had a server running samba 3.5.10. It was a member of a windows domain. And when a domain user connected to it, it would automatically create a samba user and a unix user.

Now I reinstalled a server using kubuntu 12.04, running samba 3.6.3.

I have a few conditions to meet with a new samba setup.I want to migrate a windows based share to a linux samba share. However this time the share is in the regular corporate LAN and I do not have the rights to add this samba server to the corporate windows domain.
