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.

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

That would be quite a flaw because I sit there supplying a password and
never get in. If it was that kind of flaw then it wouldn't work at all and
I suspect it would have been discovered.

Ok then, I think it still might be a permission error maybe. Something
to do with the way you have set it up, but I haven't used that package
much. I hope someone else on here will have some better ideas.
Take care,
Sina

There is a setting somewhere on the XP system that fixes that
issue. Damned if i can remember what it is at the moment. But it
would help to take a quick glance at your smb.conf file if you
would like to send it on. Are you trying to use the userid and
password of an existing account on your linux system? If not try
that and see if it helps. I know that I have to have an account
on the llinux box that matches the one I am trying to log on with
in order to hook up.

What smbconf is this one quoted at the end of the message? What version of
samba? Mine looks very different.
