Hello, a forwarded bug: I think it was the "user" that was ignored, and not the "password": There is a bug in WfWg that has relevance to this setting. When in user or server level security a WfWg client will totally ignore the password you type in the "connect drive" dialog box. This makes it very difficult (if not impossible) to connect to a Samba ser- vice as anyone except the user that you are logged into WfWg as. --8<-- So the samba-doc diff would be: --- smbdotconf/security/security.xml.orig 2005-10-17 23:38:37.000000000 +0200 +++ smbdotconf/security/security.xml 2005-10-17 23:39:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ <para>There is a bug in WfWg that has relevance to this setting.

Added "username and" to the existing text because it is not possible to over-ride the currently logged in connection credentials.
