Hmm, I see. But what to do if the server is a NT machine? I have to come
up with the same solution for both samba (/etc/smbusers would be fine)
and the NT server (no smbusers).
On NT, if I am logged in as user bla, and this user can't be found on
the server, I am prompted to specify user and password once more when
mounting the share. However, under Win95 this doesn't happen. If someone
knew how to make this additional user/pw box appear under Win95 it would
be the highest desireable option since I have no control over the
server(s) here.
Thanks anyway,
