Hi,
I have a problem reg. the interconnection of Samba and XP und the "Fast
User switching" facility of XP.
Problem occurs like this:
If there are more than one user logged into a XP machine (i.e via
remotedesktop/fast user switching) only the last logged in user is able
to access the samba shares.
The other ones are getting a window which prompts for username and
password, but they will never succeed.
One of the share is the home of the user and is shown as loginname in
the network neighborhood (i.e. \\samba\USER). If there are more than one
logged into
the XP machine I can see a \\samba\USER and a \\samba\nobody. So it
seems that the Samba isn't able to handle more the one user per XP machine.
Our setup is a little bit trocky but not too much.
We are using Samba 2.2.8a and a XP machine as password server.
Does anybody knows about restrictions/problems regarding this setup or
multiple user logged into an XP machine?
Under native XP file sharing it is possible to change the user and to
connect to the same XP-share from different accounts on the same machine.
Thanks in advance.
