Hi there,

I'm running the IT infrastructure in our ONG's office. We have a Fedora Core 6 box that is a web server, router, firewall, etc. and recently I'm trying to set up a File Server as well. The clients are all Win XP SP2.

I installed & configured Samba on the server (with the authentication mode set to share) and made some shares. No problem so far, the shared documents cam be accessed and written from the win xp client.

The problem occurs when I'm trying to restrict the access to a folder only to some of the samba users. From the Win client it does not allow me to type in the user name, and therefore i cannot connect to the specific share.

Anyone got any idea?

Thanks in advance,

What happens if you set your authentication mode to user?

If I do that I can't connect at all any more.

Bu anyways, I don't know if I made myself understood, I need to be able to have hared folders, for all the clients, and some other folders that can only be accessed by one or a group of users
