samba - Dec 2001 - windows XP and samba shares

Hello.

I'm using RedHat Linux 7.1 with Samba 2.0.7.

Though Samba acts a domain controller for the Win  '98 clients, I have
the Windows XP Professional set in workgroup mode.  When plain text
password is enabled in Windows XP, I can see the Samba shares and map
the share as a local drive.

However, when I reboot the Windows XP client, I must give the password
(Windows XP remembers the user name) to access the Samba shares.  Is
there a way of saving the passwords for the Samba shares ?  I would like
to authenticate the Windows client (type in the password at intial
logon), and  have the Samba shares mapped automatically.

I have tried saving share information under User Account administration
of the Windows XP Control Panel.  Incidentially, the username and
password are the same for the Windows XP and Samba server.

The problem that I am having is that when an XP machine tries to
mount a samba share (samba 2.2.5).  It is not passing the user name
and passwd correctly and it wants the passwd of guest.  
Can anybody tell me how to correct this behavior.

Thanks,
Mike
