I attribute this to a Windows 2000 bug. I have 30+ machines here, almost all of which are windows 2000. Anytime they are trying to connect to a machine as a different username, the password/username being used for the share do not get correctly saved.
I have not, however, tried connecting to a share on a windows server using a different username. I presume it will exhibit the same behavior. Maybe I'll try it out later today. --Kaleb On Tuesday 15 October 2002 07:15 am, you wrote: > Hi, > > We have a samba server 2.2.4 in a RH 6.2 Linux system.
