Greetings list:

OS :        Solaris 10 (sparc)05/08
Samba version:     11.10.0,REV=2005.01.08.05.16
   I think his equates to on version 3.28

Overview
We have 2 shares on UNIX side that are used
to transfer files from Windows to Solaris.
One share is read-only and the other is writable
This is working great for the users.
The current setting is :
security=share

All clients are Windows XP.

-----
Change We want to make
-----
We want to add a protected share for a certain number
of users to access via password.

While not affecting the other shares
or
requiring users to enter a password.

I know we will have to change to :
security=user

After several attempts to accomplish this but have not had any success..

What I have done:
Added a UNIX user to smbpasswd
Added a UNIX group to /etc/group and added the UNIX user.

The below smb.conf does not work for the private area (logs).
It seems to *behave like* the security =share
as it pops up a "Greyed out box" with Guest in it
and prompts for a password.

Thx
Charles
