If you have only 5 users, I think the simplest approach is to create a unique share for each person, so that when you go to \\server, you'll see shares for mom, dad, kid1, kid2, kid3. Each one should have an account on the linux box, and each share should have a 'force user' & 'force group' in smb.conf for their own account. That way, if you click on kid1, you have to enter kid1's password, regardless of what Win98 sends for the username. You also have to remember to uncheck 'remember password' too. -Chuck

Hi all

by Wesley Allen

Hi all, I got mandrake 9.0 on my laptop (now XP-less, smile) and I love it. However, I've got two problems.... 1. My usb devices are not accepting addresses, I've got a dmesg log in a file if you want to see it. 2. I can't get tpconfig to work! Does anyone know if the patch was pre-installed for tpconfig in previous mdk's? I used to be able to install the rpm and it just worked, now it doesn't work at all (and I hate "tapping"). Thanks gang, I learn a lot from this list! Wes

then try utilizing the 'guest' logon ... if that doesnt work, setup your windows machines to auto-logon as some user and use that ... tweakui (microsoft provides this for free via their website) allows you to setup users to logon automatically in win 9x -mike On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Bill Mills-Curran wrote: > On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, Charles R.

RE: [Wlug] samba shares & win98 usernames

by Marc Hughes

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.

So what username does Samba see when you map drives? You might have to increase the debug level in smb.conf (log level = 9). -- Charles R.

samba shares & win98 usernames

by Bill Mills-Curran

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?
