>net use k: \\smbservername\sharename * /USER:username This will only work in a windows NT, 2k, XP environment. you must either log onto the win98 box with the username of the user on the linux box OR use the 'username map=/path/to/map' (at least I think that is the correct syntax) directive in the smb.conf file to alias a the username you log in as on the win98 box to a valid user account on the linux box. and dont forget to run 'smbpasswd -a <username>'. > >replace smbservername, sharename and username with your vals. > >good luck! > >--elhaddi > > >On Wed, 18 Sep 2002, Shawn wrote: > > > I changed security to user, as well as attempting to encrypt password > > and still no luck.
