[Samba] Windows Vista password dialog keeps coming up

Thu Jan 24 22:50:42 GMT 2008

Hello again,

After looking at the smb.conf file again I saw the problem...  I had valid 
users set in Globals to the only 2 that could connect, duhhhh.

Here's the updated config file:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.103 (192.168.1.103)
# Date: 2008/01/24 16:48:48

[global]
 netbios aliases = bernardy, kullback, cva
 client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
 client lanman auth = No
 client plaintext auth = No
 wins support = Yes
 valid users = im_user, bernardy, cva, kullback

[bernardy_images]
 comment = Bernardy images for viewing
 path = /data/images/image_viewing/bernardy
 username = bernardy
 valid users = bernardy, im_user, Robert
 read list = bernardy, Robert
 write list = Robert, im_user
 read only = No

[homes]
 comment = Home Directories
 invalid users = root, admin, bin, daemon, sys, adm, uucp, nuucp, smmsp, 
listen, gdm, webservd, rpollard, mysql
 valid users = im_user, bernardy, kullback, cva

[images]
 comment = Image administrator access point
 path = /data/images
 username = im_user
 valid users = im_user
 read only = No

[kullback_images]
 comment = Viewing directory for Kullback
 path = /data/images/image_viewing/kullback
 username = kullback
 valid users = im_user, kullback
 read list = kullback, im_user
 write list = im_user
 read only = No

[cva_images]
 comment = CVA image viewing directory
 path = /data/images/image_viewing/cva
 username = cva
 valid users = cva, im_user, Robert
 read list = im_user, cva, Robert
