--------------------------------------->

There are 2 ways!

 

FIRST:

    In your SMB.CONF, edit or add the following lines

    --------------------------------------   

    [global]

            security = server

            password server = %m

    ---------------------------------------

*the macro %m represent the netbios name of the client computer

therefore when try to login, it samba will query the password that your

client put in their windows login

 

 

SECOND:

    In your SMB.CONF, edit or add the following lines.

    ------------------------------------------------

        [global]

              security = share

 

        [On every Broadcast Directory]

              public = no

              browseable = yes

              valid users = @XXX, @XXX

    -------------------------------------------------

* @XXX = is the list of users that you've define in UNIX group file

                For example if you have 10 users in group FACILITY

                then include replace the @XXX to @FACILITY. This will allow

                all the user under that group to access the broadcast Directory.

* You must set public = no. Else everyone will be able to access the Directory

 

LAST:

Any doubt email me. Hope it works!!
