     We have the same annoyance.  I even have one NT machine where one
login has to give their password for each share, even on the same server.
I've always assumed I was missing something on the NT side.

     This bites my users constantly.  But it is an annoyance, and I wonder if
there is a solution.

     This is true.  I think people new to listserves do not know how to behave.
They don't realize that a post of solutions is the way you give back to the
list.
Of course, it maybe just general inconsiderate behaviour that is rampant in
today's
society.  I got my answer...  see ya.
