My thanks to those who've helped me in the last few days.  I've had some
big breakthroughs and may now be able to help one or two others.

My next task is to set up Samba to log users into their shares on a
mapped drive that will be commonto all machines - eg. h:\. So I have  4
user shares, and a common IT share that we can all use.  It works fine
on my NT4 machine and logs me in on startup without requiring my
intervention at all.  I can then cross the table and log in as me on a
Win95 machine, same result!  Whoopee!  But - if I then do a
<Shutdown/Log in a different user>, and the try to log in to their
share, it tells me that it can't be found.  Why?  Looking in Network
Neighbourhood I can only see my share, our common IT group share, and
the printer's share.  All the shares have exacly the same entries in
smb.conf, ie:

 [mh]
        comment = Matt Halliday
        path = /home/dept/it/mh
        valid users = mh
        read only = No
        broswable = No

I'm using encrypted passwords, everything looks ok, and I'm stuck.
Help!!!
