Re: Map uid/gid of SMB share to local account?

`mkpasswd` and `mkpasswd -l -U0-20000' produce the same output (neither
includes the SMB user); the drive is mapped in Windows as z: and I can
also access it directly from the cygwin prompt.

No, there was a message from Corinna that showed the correct use (I only used it, and was impressed):

same for SAMBA/CIFS, /usr/lib/smb.conf :

guest account = nobody

Just to be clear, that's supposed to be on my cygwin (guest) side? I
thought that file controlled the server's behavior... and I don't have
admin rights on the server side.

No. smb.conf is the Samba configuration file, in the server. -- René Berber
