New question #216550 on samba in Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/216550

My old problem: To have access from Ubuntu controlled notebook via windows-LAN to a data file on win2000 notebook. The steps are:
1) search in netzwork for other data files, find WINWOWS-network
2) open it, find HEIMNETZWERK
3) open it, find win2000 notebook
4) open it, find data file d
5) open it, it apears a label "To access data file d on data location nb-win2000 a password is  required ."

data file d on data location nb-win2000 is enabled.

The recommendation the same username and password in both systems does not help.
Ubuntu runs with password, nb-win2000 now again without password.

I changed smb.conf regarding ubuntu.forum.de/artikel/10494/ into

[Global]
        Workgroup =HEIMNETZWERK
        security = share
	netbiosname = UBUNTU


[Freigabename]
        path = /HEIMNETZWERK/nb-win2000/d
	browseable = yes
	writeable = no
	public = yes

The command "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" leads to error, because init.d has no samba file.
ninit.d is wrong, therefore init.d

because they say, no longer a password is required.
but the label apears further.

smb.conf I have changed into

werner@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
	Workgroup = HEIMNETZWERK
	netbiosname = UBUNTU

	path = /HEIMNETZWERK/nb-win2000/d/
	browseable = yes
	read only = no

Which changes in smb.conf I have to do, to solve the problem?
How is it possible to avoid the label with the requirement for password?

regards werner
