samba - Mar 1999 - NT Workstation "Default" Username and Password

Guys,

If I have a Windows NT Workstation and I want to access shares on the 
Linux box running SAMBA, but maintain a single username and password, 
isn't the basic procedure to create an "account" on the
workstation which
is the same as one on the Linux box?

Then after I login on the Workstation shouldn't I be able to simply 
double click on the Linux box icon under "Network Neighborhood" and 
Windows NT will attempt to get a list of the shares using the username 
and password I used for the workstation (this is working for 95).

Presently I get a dialog box saying "Incorrect password or unknown 
username" ... if I enter the same username and password again it works.

Any ideas what NT is doing to get it wrong for the first attempt?

Cheers,  Malcolm

Have a look at samba-2.0.3/docs/textdocs/WinNT.txt. It is all explained there.
