The password it is asking for is the NETBIOS password for that user. The NETBIOS password has to be defined in the server with the command (as root) smbpasswd -a user_name The Netbios password does not have to be the same as the Linux logon password although you may find it less confusing if you make them the same. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
