[NTLUG:Discuss] Getting Linux and NT to play nice.

[severian@pobox.com]

Howdy,
   Are you saying that you don't want to login on the NT box?  Or that you 
don't wish to type the user id and password when you try to share the SAMBA 
share from the Linux box?
   If it is the later, just create a userid and password on the unix box 
that matches what you use on the NT box and be sure it has permissions for 
the share.
   If the former, then do you  could specify the user id and password on 
the command line and run it from a batch file that runs at system 
start.  This should be OK unless you are concerned about the user id and 
password being stored as plain text in a batch file.
   I had an NT box on my home network for years, but I upgraded it in 
Linux.  So I can't check the exact syntax for you, but I think you can get 
the systax by going to a command prompt and typing     net use /?
Good luck,
Ralph
