Visible but not accessible

[Nik Sands]

Ben,

Are you logging into Windows NT with the same username as you are using 
with Samba?

There appears to be a bug in WinNT which will ignore the username you type 
in to connect to your Samba share IF it differs from the username with 
which you logged into Windows.  Note that this is for any SMB share (Samba 
or NT).  The problem appears to be fixed in Win2000 and does not occur in 
all installations of WinNT, so I don't know exactly where or how the bug 
happens.

Cheers,
Nik.
