Hi, We are having difficulty connecting to a samba server using windows XP pro. Plain text is enabled and we can search for the server on the network, but as soon as we map a drive to it, it asks for a username and password. We enter this and then it asks for a password relating to a guest account. Can anyone help me with why it defaults to the guest account? Regards Phil This message is confidential.

We can't be blamed for a kernel oops. If a user space app can cause the kernel to die, then that's a kernel bug. I would start pursuing this with RedHat (if you have support), or logging it in bugzilla.redhat.com. cheers, jerry ~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com ~ SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org ~ GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc ~ "If we're adding to the noise, turn off this song" --Switchfoot (2003) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/3dNyIR7qMdg1EfYRApdZAJ9htkTwywXzJZX0Ovv4oH3PApHWggCeIMRj 9lP0MyIVNBHMb+jErsEbLmA=GwKN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
