[Samba] Problem with password prompting.

[John Chenoweth]

Dear all,
    I am having a problem where by if I create a persistent mapping on a
windows 2000 server as:
 
net use q: \\123.45.67.89\fred password /user:tom /persistent:yes
 
where:
 
1. my Win2K account name that I log in with is tom and my password is
password. The w2k box is a member of a workgroup workgroup.
 
2. the share is exported from a samba server with HPUX 11.11i and running
samba 2.2.9 (HP version). in the samba conf file, security = shared method
is used.
 
3. the unix user defined in the passwd file user tom and password is
password.
 
4. the above command maps the drive perfectly.
 
When I log out then login again I'm prompted for the password again.
 
I though that windows was supposed to remember the password and map the
drive.
 
If I enter the password correctly (password) the drive maps ok.
 
What do I need to do to automatically map the q: drive next time I log in
(i.e. no password prompt)?
 
Help much appreciated.
 
regards,
