Hey everyone 
well i scheduled my test for next wednesday. Im consistantly scoring in the 90% ranges on all the practice tests i can find, so i feel confident enough to PASS
i seem to get this question mixed up on all the practice tests
what is the difference between share leven and user level security/passwords?
from what i think i understand is that they BOTH require passwords but share level is not as secure as user level?
then i had a practice test tell me
20. share level access is used to specify password protection for EACH RESOURCE
21. share level access applies password protection to the folder level to conrol read and change access
23. USER LEVEL security is more secure and requires a user to provide a login ID usually a username and password combination to access network resources.
Share level securityis not a secure as user level "
maybee one of you gurus can clear this mess up for me....thanks!

Hello!.
Share level works at the share. Each time you access the share, you will be requested a password. This is a unique password for each share resource.
User Level, you "authenticate" before accesing the share, and once you are authenticated, you can access all resources. Here you use a user ID and password and with it, you can access all shares you want (if you have permission).
Samba allows you to use share or user level access as explained in: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-samba-security-modes.html
Hope it helps!
Windows only allows user level access.
