yes, I have setup users to connect in samba.The problem is that the users who are using windows, try to access file server in linux centos 6.2 ask username and password very first time only. But when user try to access again then samba server does not ask for username and password.I want that whenever user try to access the same server then each time it should ask for username and password.
When I connect to my samba share on a Windows computer, there's an option (after the username/login) that says something about remembering credentials (it's a little box you can check) and since that has been set I've never had to type in my credentials a second time when logging in.
Well, it is already doing what you asked.
What are you really trying to achieve?
I suppose you could set all the Win clients (with a group policy or such) to never cache credentials, but I think you might get some resistance from the users when they have to enter every password repeatedly all day every day...

Should I make group policy in window pc or in linux samba. If I have to make a group policy in linux then please elaborate me.
Samba doesn't (yey maybe...) do GP.
Again, that is probably not what you want to do.
Why do you want the password asked EVERY time if the user is the same and has already entered the password?

I am currently trying to achieve the exact same thing. For your question, I will answer:
In some office environment everyone can sit at the desk of someone else and access unauthorized files provided the machine is not user locked.
We just want that everytime anyone is trying to access the samber server, he or she is prompted to enter the credentials. It is for security purposes and the users agree.
So please if you can provide me with a way to do that, I will be very pleased.
Thank you
