Hi Everyone,
 
I just have what might be an easy question (actually I have 1 1/2
questions...)
 
I was finally able to establish samba shares throughout my
Windows/Linux network.  However, when I sign in as root on the RH 7.3
machine, (I'm using the Gnome desktop as root user, BTW), I use Nautilus
to browse my samba shares.  I can access all folders with no problem,
but when I go to open a Word document or an .mp3 file, I get a message
saying that the application, be it mpg123 or AbiWord "cannot open the
file in samba shares".  At first I thought this was something I did
again, but, decided to use Konqueror on the KDE menu, and I can open any
files within my samba shares with no problems.  Is it just something in
Nautilus?  A config setting of some sort?
 
My second half question was really already answered by someone else on
this board.  Everytime I access a windows share from Konqueror, I have
to re-type my username and password.  As I understand it, if I enable
encrypted passwords (since NT 4.0 requires it and that's what I'm
running on my windows machines), it should solve the problem.  However,
feel free to correct me if I'm wrong..I'm just a lowly beginner!
 
Thanks for any and all input!
