While connecting to the Samba server you get a requester from the client's
side asking for a login for a share that is not available,
e.g. \IPC$
.
There is a security option in /etc/smb.conf
. This sets up the
"how" Samba clients connect to the server. There are two possibilities:
"security = user"
"security = share"
If the usernames of the client don't match the names from the server and the
option "security = user"
has been set (additionally if
user-mapping has not been setup) this strange behaviour might occur.
To surround this problem you may either change the security options or create
a username map.
Generally there are two possibilities:
/etc/smb.conf
:
"security = share"
This is the most easy solution. Well it means that another authorization feature is used for loggin in which might not be what you want.
username map
option for explititly setting
a file containing usernames (on the client) to usernames on the server.
This might be useful under certain circumstances. If the usernames on both
machines differ it serves for combining them. This file is read line by
line. Here the username on the server is specified in detail, e.g.:
"Server Username" = "Client Name"
"Server Username" = "Client Name 1" "Client Name 2" ...
Furthermor it is possible to attach all usernames of a given group to one name, e.g.:
"Server Username" = "@Gruppenname"
At last there is the *
wildcard which stands for any
user.
"Server Username" = *
