I have what should be a no-brainer setup:
Windows network using AD with a single Linux box. I need to provide
access to a single directory on the linux box to anyone from the network.
Security is not a concern.
So... On the linux box, I created a user xxxxx. I added this user to the
local samba database using smbpasswd -a.
I added the linux box to the Windows workgroup and told it where to find
the wins server.
So far so good. I tested this setup; I can log in to the linux box and
access the one share.
The problem comes in when I tell windows to "reconnect at logon". It
fails. From then on, I cannot connect to the share from windows. I have
to disconnect, then map the network drive with new credentials.
I can't figure out why it's doing this. What can I do to see where it's
failing?

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If
I quit, however, it lasts forever.
