I've got SuSE Linux 9.1 running on a laptop which is on a local network with my Linux fileserver (running SuSE Linux 9.0) and a Windows XP workstation. I have been using Samba (Version 2.x?) to set up my shares. Everything has been working okay. Apparently, 9.1 uses Samba 3.0. I can publish shares and can access the 9.1 shares. However, when I try to access shares on other machines from my laptop (9.1), I have to log in. Sometimes I have to log in multiple times. My existing system lets any user access any share without a login and that's the way I want my laptop to work. I've tried setting various Samba parameters and have looked at file permissions but nothing I try seems to work. I even tried RTFM. I think I may just be too close to the problem. Any pointers on what to try next will be sincerely appreciated. Don Henson
