Re: password protect samba share on every access?



Windows XP cache the password you provided. Once you provided the
exact username and password for the shared folders, it remembers
the credentials but only until you reboot. I am not sure about samba. I
know only the machine password timeout option is available with samba
version 3.

Hi,

I have FC5 running fine with samba and some stuff shared from it to
rest of the network. My shares are password protected. I can access
these shares from XP machines. For the first access, it asks username
and passowrd (which is fine) and permission is granted. Now next
subsequent access to samba shares are granted without any
authentication (which is not fine) until the client reboots (XP
machine).

I don't know which one is responsible for remembering the password (XP
or samba) but what I need is username and password should be provided
everytime the resource being accessed.

is there a way to do this?

Thanks
