# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = xxxx
        netbios name = FILESTORE
        server string = Filestore
        security = SHARE
        os level = 34

[Lumeneau]
        path = /samba/xxxx
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes

[xxx]
        path = /samba/xxx
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

[xxx]
        path = /samba/xxx
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = No

I need to enable a global share password (ie one password for access to everything on there). Its been so long i've lost the knack of deciphering man pages :(

Its gotta to be simple! but i cant work it out lol.

Any help gratefully recieved.
 
Hrmz

Made some progress, but kinda backwards also


Setting

Security = User

Should make me have to add a username and password to access the share. But it doesnt seem to work.

When I try and log onto the share from vista, for example, i put the username and password it but it fails as it has seemed to add my computer name to the username?


ie

computername/username

instead of just the username.

I really dont want to have to create a million accounts to get this to work!
