+When you have a user in 'admin users', samba will always do file operations for
+this user as 'root', even if 'force user' has been set.

+Newer windows clients(NT4, 2000, XP) send encrypted passwords. Samba can't compare these
+passwords to the unix password database, so it needs it's own user database. You can
+add users to this database using &quot;smbpasswd -a user-name&quot;.
+</p><p>
+See also the &quot;User database&quot; chapter of the samba HOWTO Collection.

+all your windows boxes must also have a blank scope ID.
+If you really want to use a non-blank scope ID then you will
+need to use the 'netbios scope' smb.conf option.
+All your PCs will need to have the same setting for
+this to work. Scope ID's are not recommended.</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="FAQ-Install.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="samba-faq.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="FAQ-ClientApp.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 2. Compiling and installing Samba on a Unix host </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="samba-faq.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Chapter 4. Specific client application problems</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
