	If you're using security=share (the default), it's actually
	prompting for a password which it will try to log on to
	a unix account named "tmp" with.

	This is quite intentional: older clients didn't know
	about accounts!  I'd try net use x: \\server\\my-account,
	after adding a [homes] section to the smb.conf.

	Feel free to send mail...
