How does computer account authentication work ? I've read the code but I don't understand where it's called. I made some 'grep' on "m_bNetUseMachineAccount" but I haven't found what I'm looking for. Does WPKG client extract some user/password ? I think there could be a solution with computer account in a samba domain because computer are authenticated by the PDC to be able to open a session on the domain. And when I look in the LDAP information about my XP box I have this (slapcat | less) : displayName: XP4$ sambaAcctFlags: [W ] sambaNTPassword: 2EDAB3A927C15AEC59ED849CF68377B9 sambaPwdLastSet: 1258642532 So I'm pretty sure there is a way to use computer credentials to access a share, no ? I hope there will be a way to use computer account because I can't let a share writeable to "nobody" nor I can use a domain account for WPKG client. Those 2 solutions are not secure enough.
