Did the meetings go up in smoke?
Question for everyone...here at home I've got a Linux box running
Samba and a number of XP (Home) machines. I have all the passwords in
sync, so your XP password is also your Samba password. In most cases,
XP automatically tries to use your Windows login information to log
in to Samba. This is the behavior I'm going after.
In a few cases, however, this doesn't work. Windows asks for a
username and password every time you try to access a share (unless it
is accessible by guest, at which point it will just log in as guest
and not even ask for a user/pass).
The really frustrating thing is it doesn't seem to be tied to much of
anything. It works/doesn't work regardless of SP1 or SP2. On one
machine, two accounts automatically log in, while the third doesn't.
One person doesn't have a password. On most of the machines, she gets
in just fine. On one, however, it always asks her for her username.
Any clues? Is there a setting somewhere for this? I'm thinking there
has to be an easy fix, but Google hasn't been too helpful.
