[Samba] Solaris 10 - Samba authentication Question

[CT]

Let me try to clarify a bit more..

Goal
using security=user
3 Shares---------------Winshare
------------------------SunShare
----------------------- PrivateShare

all users -------------- WinShare (no password prompt)
all users---------------SunShare (no password prompt)
-----------------------PrivateShare (prompt for username /password)

Thx for any pointers
