With Win98/ME/XP Home, you can attach to shares simply by opening 'My Network Places' browsing through Microsoft Networks - Workgroup Name - Server Name and it will ask for a login (name / password). These names/passwords must match samba user names/passwords and of course a samba user must have a corresponding user account (real or mapped via smbusers).
If you wish to script the login (i.e. run from a machine's Start Menu - Startup)... something like... net use f: \\SERVER-NAME\SHARE password /USER:username should work. get to a command prompt and try it out first. If you need help, try net use /? Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
