Hi,

I need help in setting up samba.I have windows 2000 as domain server and and i made one new linux system and now I want to join with windows 2000 server which i did it easily.Now i want to give access to some users to access application which is installed on Linux System.I tried to configure samba and when I click the linux system on network places it ask for password and user name.and were as i mentioned in my samba to whom I want to give access to use the application as valid user = adminsitartor,user1,user2.So when I log in as user1 or any other user it ask for the username and password.

Can any one tell me whats wrong with configuring samba,.

hello,
sorry for taking so long to respond - anywho, do you have the global section?

[global]


   workgroup = MYGROUP


   server string = Samba Server

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
;   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
   printcap name = /etc/printcap
   load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups
   printing = cups

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd
# otherwise the user "nobody" is used
;  guest account = pcguest

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
   max log size = 0

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See
# security_level.txt for details.
   security = user

this is an example, i have the security set to user and it has worked well for me. i have not needed it for a while though...

Hi Pbharris ,

I can't give security=users as I want to give limited access to the users.If I set this option then it allows everyone to access the application.

Anyways I tried this also to check whether it works but it still is asking for user name and password.

Thanks
