On this subject; does anyone know why there is no "use Linux user and
passwd for samba logins" option? (or is there?)



The only one that comes to mind is smbpasswd.



Yes - there's no nice GUI for setting all this up.



Actually, there is. It's in "Personal Settings", under "Internet &
Network, though I haven't done much there.



Ahh, I remember that now. However, it doesn't correctly setup
permissions. I had tried it several times and ended up needing to go to
the smb.conf file and mucking about.


Well, this is not really what Im after. I want to tell smbmount to use
my current logged-in linux username and password to login to shares. So
aslong as I keep my local password synced with the windows network
password all is well.
The KDE control panel helps alot - I use it at the moment - It just
needs a check box saying - "Use local login credentials". At fail it
should come up with login dialog.
