    Question Odd Samba login prompt on Windows -> IPC$

    Hello! I am working a Dell rack server that I am setting up as a Samba file server.

    What I have so far is a default smb.conf file, only the workgroup changed to DRAFT (it will be used in a drafting room.) The server and another Windows 98 box are connected to a 100/10 hub.

    The server’s host name is ‘SERVER’ for now.

    The 98 Box can see the domain Draft in Network Neighborhood, yet when I double-click on Draft to log on, I get a prompt with \\SERVER\IPC$ in the ‘user’ field only I can’t change it, I am stuck with it. There is a password field, but I have no idea what the password is.

    What is the IPC$ user? Will I somehow become rich if I log in with it?

    I would like to log in as a user on the Linux box (say Foo) and transfer files to their home (/home/foo).

    Thanks!
