>hi! i've been working with samba for one 25days yet i cant make it work.  i am configuring samba for a board which is on mips-linux.  all i want to have is when i will try to access my mips-linux board, it will ask me for a username and password.  but what was happening is - WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS MY MIPS-LINUX BOARD, IT WILL ASK ME FOR A USERNAME AND PASSWROD, THEN I WILL TRY TO INPUT A USERNAME AND A CORRECT PASSWORD BUT I CANT GO IN!
