Happy to see some good has come out of this.  Hopefully more will
follow.

I don't think we have a Windows user name that's the same name as this
linux box (SKUNKWORX), but I will certainly double-check that.  I will
also take a look at the article.

The good news is, using smbmount to go the other way, accessing shares
on a Win2k box from the linux box, seems to have worked without a hitch.

Thanks for the info!
