Yes

netbios name = cwnl-lycosa
workgroup = CWNL-LAB
guest account = pcguest
log file = /usr/local/samba/log/log.%U

2000/03/14 22:21:43 cwnl-c1683 (172.16.27.85) connect to service temp as

The "connect to service" line only appears in the logfile "log.pcguest".
This happens when connect via "START -> RUN -> open: \\cwnl-lycosa" and
select share temp ( and browse network neigborhood ). This is the
behaviour of most of our users because there are too many shares that
are not always needed. When I do a "map network drive" the "connect to
service" line only appears in the logfile "log.cwnl-ronaldd".
Some interesting note I just found out: The "closed connection to
service" line comes in the file "log.cwnl-ronaldd" when browsing.
