[Samba] Authentication woes

[Brian Witowski]

Hello,

I have a perplexing problem.  Im running Mandrake 10.0 and samba 3.0 setup
as a domain controller.  My client machines are XP Pro.  I can join the
domain and my "Homes" directory connects as it should.  But that's all I can
do.  I have other shares that I can't access.  For instance, I have a
"downloads" share.  Ive tried every conceivable setting but when I try to
access that share, it prompts for my username and password.  I enter it but
it doesn't take.  It just asks again.  I've tried different logins and get
the same result.  Ive tried setting "guest=yes and that didn't help. Ive set
the attributes to 777 and that didn't help.

Evidently it doesn't see my netlogon share either because my logon script
never runs.  Ive included my samba.conf for inspection.  Keep in mind this
is only one of MANY configurations I've tried.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Brian
