Well from what I know once you get the share made on the Linux box it should prompt you for the username and password. Now you have to have permission via the samba daemon and fs permissions if I am not mistaken. Not sure how to implement what you want to do....still pretty new to samba myself Jason -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Amy Tanner Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 11:00 AM To: tclug-list at real-time.com Subject: [TCLUG] mapping to samba drive from windows When mapping to a linux/samba drive from Win98, is there anyway to specify the username? I tried \\host\share%username \\host%username\share I thought there WAS a way, but I've been unable to get it to work. Note, I can map a drive using the username I'm logged into Windows with, but I'd like to specify a different username for a particular share.
