[wplug] Samba

[Wise, Jeremey]

So let me clarify a few things. You have windows 2000 workstations that
users login with an account (say "user1" password="password") and when they
map a network drive (or browse) they get prompted for a share that is listed
as guest accessible. I assume you have verified that the passwords are
synced SMB user account / password to that of the Unix user account
/password. 

Do they get prompted for the /netlogon share? -> this section would be the
same SMB.CONF 'structure' you would want to copy for your "Share1" share. Do
you see it when you browse? 

Can you post your SMB.CONF file for us to look at?

I am trying to share two directories on a Linux machines with all the 
recently upgraded Windows XP machines at work.  "Share1" should be 
read-only and not need a password to view the contents.  "Share2" should be 
closed off and only available to 2-3 specific users.  I set everything up 
ok and it seems to work correctly with the old Windows 2000 set-up, the 
only problem I'm having is that no matter what directory I access (share1 
or share2) a username and password prompt pops up.  I only need the 
username/password prompt to come up for share2, and not share1.  Even 
though it pops up for share1, if the user leaves the username and password 
blank, it will get through.  Now this set up was fine and dandy with our 
Win 2000 machines, but now that we upgraded all the machines to Win XP, XP 
will not let you put a blank username and password, so I have to solve the 
problem with the Samba server.
