Problem to log into Samba (AFS) from NT: needs password

[Axel Tanner]

Hi!

In my setup I try to log into a Samba server (1.9.17p2) on AIX 4.1(to get
access to AFS) from an NT workstation.

Although I am logged into the NT workstation with the same userid/password,
which is also necessary to get access to AFS, it doesn't authenticate me on
the first try, but asks for the password again. Typing in this very same
password again now gives me access ...

Samba server as my WinNT

and yes, with this setting it works - unfortunately I don't like use it in
this way.

Therefore my question:
 - Does somebody have this working with not using the homedir on the Samba
server, but not being asked for the password?
 - Does somebody understand, what the problem is?

Any help appreciated!
