Ok, I thank you all for the help but unfortunately nothing is working. This is
what is going on. On the windows 2000 box there is user paul only. On the Linux
box there is user paul and paul2 as well as about 10 other users and everything is
set up and working on the samba side with one exception paul2 cannot access his
share logged in as paul on his windows 2000 box. No matter what I do I still get
the same error "the credentials supplied conflicts with an existing set of
credentials". This error happens with or without lines
      net use \\servername\share1 /user:paul
      net use \\192.168.1.1\share2 /user:paul2
 in the lmhosts file on the windows machine. Here is a copy of the smb.conf file.

I am still testing diff. configurations so if anyone can help I am under pressure
to get this done last week. Thanks, Chris.
