I'll try to get additional data.

Hmmm... That might be a good compromise. But doesn't "security=user"
imply I have to create samba users with the same names (and passwords?)
as the XP users? Now that I think of it, this doesn't make sense if
there is a propt for username and password, but I believe that's what
I've read... Also, how would that work with Win98?

Anyway, I'd like to know why "security=share" is not working for me...

Thanks
Ignacio
