I'm having trouble accessing my home directory, which resides on a Linux server running Samba, from my laptop, which is a Windows XP machine.
Details:
- This used to work fine when I was accessing that directory from a machine running Windows NT Server.
- This works for Rob, from his identical Windows XP laptop.
- This works for me *IF* I change my password to 'cjsmith' on both the laptop and the server. (The Linux server, of course, doesn't want to let me use such a stupid password, but I can override that if I'm root.) I am willing (grudgingly) to change my password to work around what is obviously a bug or extremely bad design on somebody's part, but I'm not willing to have a password identical to my username.
- This does NOT work for me if I use the password Rob uses. I have tried about six other passwords, and none of them work either.
