samba - Feb 2003 - Is it possible to specify Username/Password in a UNC when connecting to a samba server from W2K?

Hi,

Not a Samba question specifically, so please forgive me, but somewhat 
related...

I am trying to automate some tasks in a secure environment (restricted 
ipsec vpn).  Running Windows 2000 (and XP, etc), I would like to be able 
to access a Samba server using the UNC, but specify a username/password 
combination as well.

You know, in Windows Explorer it allows you to "Connect using a 
different user name".

Is there any way to specify this at the UNC?  or any other way at all?

I'm trying to avoid having to do a net use command...

Thanks,

I think what you want to do is:

net use X: \\SERVER\share /user:domain\username password

net use /? will give you all of those options at the command prompt.
