what i want is to logon a linux workstation as a user who already has an 
account on the linux samba server and when i go to linneighborhood i browse 
by filling in the username and password thereafter i mount a share and it 
automatically mounts.

I have been able to do this on the samba server; here i can log on the samba 
server as a normal user and mount the shares without any problem.

But now here comes an incidence where i am adding another linux 
workstation;SUSE; in my LAN and on mounting the shares i get problems.
 
Hope to here from you.
Thanks for the reply.
Rgds,
        Segie.
