I have a problem sharing on a Windows XP professional machine.
When I give for a share to a specific user (share permissions and/or ntfs
permissions),I get no access at all.
Only when I include 'everyone' I can get access. Or when I connect using an
administrator account.
Let's call the user: john
Information:
Server machine is Windows XP professional SP2, last patched with automatic
updates beginning of may 2006.
File and printer sharing is enabled on the server
Share access: john has full control
NTFS access: john has full control
John belongs to the usergroup 'users' which do have the user right 'Access
this computer from the network'.
John does NOT have an empty password.
Guest account is disabled (which should not be relevant here)
John is the only one connecting, so the limit of 10 concurrent connections
is not the problem.
I connect from a client, logged on as john with the same password as defined
on the 'server': no access. Even when mapping the share: no access (the
mapping itself succeeds though).
With the above information I would expect the connection to work.
When I give access to the group everyone I do have access (but only with the
rights given to the everyone group not the rights given to john.)
By the way: when I remember correctly, 'everyone' should not have given john
access if the server did not know the account john, as the guest account was
disabled. Appearently the server DOES know john but why doesn't he get the
apporpriate rights.
I suspect that the cause of this problem (windows error or me being a stupid
@%%#$@) is the same which prevents me from sharing the printer on that
server.
Another strange thing: When I right click the share from the client and add
the everyone group, a popup askes me to login as a user which is allowed to
do such changes. When I CANCEL without entering enything, the everyone group
is added in the list and after "ok" I actually CAN access the share!
This last issue is weird but not a problem for me. Not having access is, and
I would sincerely hope someone has a solution for me.
Am I being a fool here or is it a flaw in Windows?
Thanx a lot in advance,
Titus
