Hi, all I have a problem with the following setup: Server: RedHat Linux 6.2 with samba-2.0.6-9 "out of the box" Clients: Windows 2000, with/without SP I have applied the Win2000 plain password reg patch. I connect to a share and select [x] reconnect at logon - no problem so far. The home drive ist mapped to the user account (user manager W2K) When I logon to the machine again the home drive gets connected automatically, but when reconnecting one of the other shares I am asked for a password. If I enter the password the share gets reconnected - if I cancel and discard the error dialog the share is available too! So the question: Why do I have to enter a password every logon? This did not happen with NT4 (same server) TIA , Mario Botegal
Mario,> So the question: Why do I have to enter a password every logon? > This did not happen with NT4 (same server)I can't believe that it worked under NT4. Windows never trusts a foreign host if the password is sent in plain text. Windows always asks for a password when you logon, except if the password is encrypted.
