[Samba] clients logout .............

Wed Mar 17 09:14:26 GMT 2004

Hi Steve,

The situation I have here is... all PCs have a Windows login name in the
format PTLUser* and on each there's a shortcut to the server (PTLServer) of
the desktop.  When the machine is first booted it logs straight in to
windows using the PTLUser* and password.  When the user double-clicks on the
desktop shortcut to access the server they are then required to enter their
unique Samba username and password.  This opens up the windows showing the
shares on the server (including their home folder) and they can then map as
required.  When finished, they can chose "disconnetc network drive" from
several places and this will remove the mappings.  Now, if another user
comes along and double clicks on the desktop shortcut it assumes that they
are the same user as previously asccessed the server and shows the previous
user's folder as available.

Somewhere previous in this thread someone suggested using the "map network
drive" - "Connect as different user" as an option but.... as opening the
shortcut to the server only shows the previous user's home folder this does
not seem possible ?

Seems that Windows is remembering the username and passwrod somewhere so the
only way I can find to clear this is to reboot or logoff users PTLUser* and
start again.

Sorry that was so long winded :-)

Thanks

Mike

Mike,
How are you specifying the new login name? If using the map
network drive gui, you would need to click the link that says "Connect
using a different name" (different being other than the logged on user).
If mapping with the net use command, you can specify a different user by
doing something like this: "net use * \\server\share
/user:domain\username *". The * at the end will cause the program to
prompt for a password.

If you connect via a UNC from the run box or explorer address
bar, Windows will attempt to connect with the logged on user or if there
is a current connection to the server, it will try to use the id in use
by the other connection. You will not be able to connect with another
userid until all connections to the server are disconnected. Windows
will give you an error which say something about not allowing multiple
connections to a server with different credentials.

Thanks Steve, I've just tried that but it doesn't work - the PC seems to
remember the last login name and password and reconnects to the server
as
that user again :-(

You should be able to click Tools/Disconnect Network Drive from a
Windows Explorer window, then select the connection to the Samba server
and click ok. Note, this can be done even if the connection was not
mapped to a drive letter, such as by typing \\server\share in the run
box. You can then map a drive to the server with a different user
account.

There
was the DOS "net logoff" but that will not work in a Windows VM, only in
"real mmode" :-(
