Bill, Using "security=server" just means that the actual authentication takes place on the other server. Samba still has to prompt you for the information it needs to have the authentication performed. If you do have a PDC already in place, use "security=domain" instead. This is actually lighter in terms of resources used on your PDC, and will provide you with the behavior you want. If you do this, you will have to add your Samba system to the domain, which means you will need to create a "machine account" for it in the domain before trying to join the domain. With your Samba software there is included the full text of the "Using Samba" book from O'Reilly and Associates. It's in html and other formats. Take a good look at it, it is _full_ of valuable information about setting up Samba and getting full use out of it.

I tried mapping the share from this machine and I still got prompted for an ID and password? I would like to try this type of security model (very single signonish) What did I do wrong? Thanks Bill
