Authenticating Shares on Win95/98 client

[Chris Burgess]

I have a small network in which I have a Linux box running SAMBA set up
as a PDC, and 10 Win 95/98 clients.  I have everything running
perfectly, except this one small issue.  I have directories and printers
on the clients that i want to share.  I only want myself (administrator)
to have access to these shares - mainly for maintenance tasks.  I know
you can use share level protection on the client, but I thought it would
be really neat if Samba could provide authentication services.

Can Samba 2.0.4b provide me with a list of users that I can set
privileges on?

Currently when I try to do this, the error generated is "You cannot view
a list of users at this time.  Please try again later"

I have been reading this list for a while now, and I am sure some of you
are doing similar things.

Thanks to the SAMBA team for producing such a polished piece of
software.  I installed it straight out of the box (so to speak), and
have never had it fail.  It is faster and far more secure than the old
peer-peer win95 network I used to run, and so far it has stayed up for
173 days - about 172 days more than windows ever could.

TIA
