[nycbug-talk] Samba and Mac OS X problem

I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious here, but I haven't
found anything googling.

We just incorporated some Mac graphic artists into our network.  There
is a shared directory on a BSD samba server. /usr/smiths that the smiths
group uses.

There is a also a folder /usr/home/cross.  I wanted to mount this on
cross' Mac, so she could copy files from there to the Smith's directory.
Both have more or less identical lines in smb.conf, read only = no
public = no.

When I try to mount cross on the Mac, it asks for authentication, I type
in the cross user name and NT domain password.  It then just asks for
reauthentication and won't mount the share.  When I do this with the
smiths folder (cross is a member of smiths) it mounts without trouble.

What stupid thing am I missing here?  I have the feeling it's one of
those things where I have looked at it so long I'm overlooking something
obvious. 


TIA

that gets you eaten.
