I'm a bit of a noob w/ samba and I set up a small samba shar (v. 3.4.0) on my ubuntu machine which hosts a shared drive for a single vista laptop (my wife's machine). My question is .. is it normal for her to regularly be asked to enter her username and password or is it something that I've done in my configuration. Note: I used the configuration guide from Linux Journal (Nov/Dec/Jan). Many thanks in advance! J

You should only be asked this once or at most 1 time per share if shares are on different servers. John
