To SAMBA experts: We have set up SAMBA version 2.0.0 on a Sun server running Solaris 2.5.1. We are successfully sharing drives and printers. However, there is a problem with connecting transparently to the SAMBA server when a person longs onto his/her PC (WIN95 or NT) or tries to map a network drive. The user is prompted to enter their password again. When using WinNT the following error message is generated; " the password is invalid for drive name" . All passwords on the Sun server are the same as on the NT PDC. After the user enters the password a second time all subsequent devices can be mapped with out supplying the password. How can one set up SAMBA or WinNT and WIN95 so that when a user enters his/her id and password via the Microsoft client it is then passed through to the SUN server via the client? We would like to set up a batch file that maps drives via the net use command. It seems that the password must be passed in order for the batch file to run successfully. Any help in resolving this matter is greatly appreciated. Thanks. John Fleming NJDEP 401 East State Street Trenton, NJ 08625
