[Samba] WinXP client always connects as Gaia\Guest

Tue Dec 14 22:35:11 GMT 2004

All attempts to connect to our Samba server, share "\data" from any Windows client fails. I'm trying to get samba to prompt the windows user with a login box, have them enter the samba username/password, then head onto the share.

If I use in the address field the following:

 \\gaia\data /user:woellki 

a dialog box appears, with the username field greyed out "Gaia\Guest" is shown, with blank password field. I hit cancel and WinXP returns the following message:

Windows cannot find "\\gaia\data /user:woellki". Check the spelling and try again, or try searching for the item by clicking the Start button and then clicking Search.

A valid samba user account exists, which happens to match the linux account. Windows clients are members of the following corporate domain: northgrum. 

Samba 3.0.9
RH9 Final (20-31.9)
