Odd problem...no password authentication to shares?

Morning...

	I'm having a problem that I'm finding to be quite disconcerting,
but fear it might just be a misunderstanding on my part.

	I have Samba 1.9.18p8 installed on one of my Solaris 2.6 machine,
and, for some reason, if I change my password on the Solaris machine, I
can still map my drive without it re-asking me for my passwd.

	For instance, I turn on my computer and connect to our Novell
servers.  I then started up samba on the Solaris machine, and map'd
my [homes] directory to my machine.  That works fine.  I login gto the
Solaris machine and change my password there, unmap my [homes] directory
and then re-map it...it doesn't prompt me for a password, it just maps the
drive.

	The funny thing is, and I think this might be where my problem
lies, is that I can map anyone else's drives.  I don't have permission to
read their files, but I do get file listings...

	Shouldn't the [homes] section only allow me to read my personal
home directory, and not everyone else's?  Shouldn't it prompt me for a
password if the password changes on the Solaris host, but not my Novell?

	I've repeatedly gone through the smb.conf man page, to see if I've
overlooked anything, and will do so again, but as of yet, I haven't found
anything to 'steer' me inthe right direction...

Thanks...
