RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames

I don't know about win98, but on 2000, when you "Map Network Drive" there's a hyperlink (yes, hyperlink... Don't ask me why it wouldn't be a button, or even better a checkbox with a slightly different program flow ... But enough of my rant about MS bad UI design) that says "Connect using a different username". If you hit that, you can specify a username when connecting. I've also noticed if I connect to \\server\hughesm (my home directory) it will ask for my username & password, I log into windows as MarcH, and then if I connect to any other share on that server it uses that name, but it only asks me for a username for my home directory... Of course this is win2k again, and we all know how consistant MS is. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Bill Mills-Curran [mailto:subssn594@charter.net] Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 11:43 AM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames I want to set up some samba shares to be mounted on my win98 box, and I'd like to protect the shares with usernames and passwords, but I can't remember how to specify a username from the win98 box. I seem to remember a way by adding the username to the share spec, but I can't find any documentation on the subject. Any ideas? Or should I use a different approach? (I have 3 kids & a wife who are mainly windows users, but will sometimes use my linux box. I'd like them to be able to read/write their files from either machine.)

Well, about my problem in upgrading my remote server with the latest version of openssl, apache and other its need to avoid getting the error.... Just wanna tell u this, you might be need it, if not... just ignore it.... ;p Well, at the first time, before removing the available openssl, you might have to enable the TELNET CONNECTION first. It's better to completely remove the available openssl first, but remember to ENABLE THE TELNET CONNECTION first. After removing the old openssl, you can not make any other SSH connection to your remote machine. You have got to do this fast, do not let the TELNET CONNECTION enable for a long time period. Get the latest openssl in www.openssl.com, and follow the instruction. Dont be affraid of libcrypto.* proble. Just configured the openssl installation with shared (./configure --prefix=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET --openssldir=/YOUR_OPENSSL_DIR_TARGET shared) That's the main idean that I would like to say, shared. It's automatically created the latest file of libcrypto.* and other its need. Simple, make the duplicate of the needed file and create a link from a defined .so as .so asked. Then, you can simply close the TELNET CONNECTION (using chkconfig --level 3 telnet off - Redhat) and re-enabling the ssh connection by typing /etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart) Good Luck...... ;p
