[cobalt-users] Qube3 and Windows XP user volumes

[Parker Morse <morse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We've recently discovered that users with Windows XP don't get prompted for
passwords when they connect to user file space on our Qube3. That is, if I
fire up a WinXP machine in my office, I can see files in the "Private"
directories of any other user on our Qube, without being prompted for a
password. In fact, I can read and write to those files and directories.

Knowing very little about Windows networking (thankfully not my primary
function), I have no idea why this should be possible. IIUC samba handles
these "network volumes", and shouldn't samba recognize user rights?

What am I missing here? (And how do I patch it, short of asking MS to send
me OS downgrades?)
