[Samba] server shares and password with win2k clients
Note: I am asking this question on the samba list also.. I have a samba server with a network of Win2k clients in workgroup mode. Each machine is setup to use netbios over tcp/ip and use the samba server for Wins Resolution (there are a couple of Win9x boxes on the network). Now the problem is this, the username/password credentials on the samba box are different from the username/password used to logon to the local machine. I setup the mapped network drives and configure things to connect as a different user (the samba credentials) and reconnect on logon. However after logging off/rebooting, after typing in the username/password it pops up the network login saying you connected to this share previously as..... and has a field to enter the samba password. Is there any way to save this so the users don't have to enter the samba password on each logon/reboot? Changing all the samba accounts to match the workstation ones is not currently an option. -- Harondel J.
