Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Samba drive mapping question
My office recently went from Domain to ADS.
My Win2K (server/desktop) has X: drive mapped
to a Linux Samba share. Samba is using local password
authentication. I do NOT want to tie into the
ADS for this.
All of a sudden my desktop "forgets" my login
information and forces me to type name and password
to mount my X: drive on every login.

Is this a local setting that I can change?
New Re: Samba drive mapping question
afaik, you can only do it by upgrading to XP, or Server 2003

New Ok, SHAZAAM!
I'm running a Win 2003 R2 server.

Now what?
New It would be the same setup for...
Mapping a a drive to a "plain old Windows'98 machine"

I don't know where t set that.

New Re: Samba drive mapping question
Mostly a WAG but, try looking at Stored User Names and Passwords (Start Menu->Control Panel->Stored User Names and Passwords) and if there isn't already an entry relating to your share, add one (servername servername/username password). Also Google the name of that dialog and Samba to see if any of the issues others are having apply to your situation.

New It's there on my w2k3 server
And using his arcane magical incantations he is now apparently on W2k3.

PS: It's also available under User Accounts on XP.

New Interesting
So there was nothing in the box, so I created and entry.
Of course, it didn't work, but in my experimentation I stumbled over making it work.
I disconnected the share, and then rather than use the "map network drive" box I typed the server\\share into Explorer.
That gave me to name/password box, which included the option for saving for later.
That in turn created a correct entry in the "Stored User Names and Passwords" dialog.
New what about the command line
net use

etc.
