I have tried the following:
All shares give the group Everyone modify access and the result is everyone has access regardless of whether they have a user account on the machine or even if the machine they are coming from is in the same Workgroup
A share gives the group Users modify access and the machine with the share has a user account with identical password as the user and machine trying to do the access and the result is the user is denied access from the remote machine
A share gives the localpc/username modify access and the machine with the share has a user account with identical password as the user and machine trying to do the access and the result is the user is denied access to the share from the remote machine
In other words, what I said before: I can completely control access to each and every folder or file on a machine to users or groups on that same machine quit successfully. However, my only choice for shares on a machine to the network is Everyone or no one. Can anyone shed any light or refer to explanations of ACL on a non-domain controlled WinXP network?
