OTTOMH - you probably need to add the server to the Windows domain (computer 
user) to make it authenticate automatically. That means doing a smbpasswd -j 
(I think!) to generate a local file after you've added the computer to the 
domain. It's in the docs somewhere, but you may want to upgrade to 2.2 - 
better support for this kind of thing.

Going the other way (automatically allowing other NT servers to mount smb 
shares) probably requires WinBIND.

Cheers,

Alex.
