This is only a guess, but it might be a flaw in that Windows XP is
trying to access or ask you for a password for every single individual
file and subdirectory it encounters? I have no clue how you would go
about fixing the problem if this were the case, but I just wanted to
offer that as a possibility.

Hope this helps,
Sina

Subject: Help With Samba


I need help.  I configure Samba and when I access it with Windows XP,
the first time it asks me for a user ID.  I set one up so I enter it and
it happily lists resources for me which are a few folders and a printer
folder. When I select a folder it asks me for a user ID again.  It
doesn't not bring forward the one I enter previously, so I figure that
is stupid so I supply it.  after that it asks again, and again, and
again, and again, until I quit.

Windows is a little different.  It does the same thing except that it
tells me that it is unable to match credentials.  It is interesting that
I can get as far as the list of folders.

If I close it and go back in using Windows XP, it doesn't ask me for the
user ID again before listing the folders because if has obviously
remembered.  When I select a folder, the loop comes. It asks again, and
again, and again.

Here is how I have the folders set up.  I tried turning off the
encryption but that makes it worse.  When I do that, I can't even get to
the list of folders.  Here is how it is set up.
