There's some kind of encrypted Windowsy connection that Samba can't do. You have to turn off full encryption a the server to make shares work. Also, Ubuntu amazingly does not install smbfs by default! > KDE has further methods to integrated with a "linneighbourhood". All > very novice friendly. Not found those yet. Tried introducing the users to linneighbourhood (again, not installed by default on Ubuntu) but they got so confused over which user and what password it was talking about, and who had what permissions to what directory that I found it easier to just set up an entry in their fstab manually. It's true that our local network peculiarities didn't help, but that isn't the whole story. Vik :v)
