Hi,

I am trying to access a fileserver(NT4 based  from a client machine
(Windows 2k Pro) and using SAMBA (version 3.0.2a) as a PDC through
username raj.It shows me the correct share on the file server but
doesn't allow me to change properties of any folder even though I am the
admin.
The releavnt configuration settings is correct..
I suspect that it gives me guest ACL.
When I see my debug 10 level logs I see that the file server does not
send any username  initially and the server treats it as guest and the
vuid value is set for guest( uid,pid) which is never modified.Later it
does authenticate the username RAJ but gives only guest ACL and the
earlier vuid is never modified.

I have "map to guest = Never" in my smb.conf file but it still maps to
guest.
I also have restrict anonymous =YES.

Please suggest so that the guest itself is not taken in the first place
and the server rejects such authorization till mu username is validated
and right vuid is created thus enabling correct ACL for the user.

Thanking in advance.

Regards,

Rajnikant Gupta
