Authentication Hassles With Mac Client & Fedora Samba

[Jason Montleon]

I have an iBook G3 laptop, a G4 Mac Mini, and two Windows XP laptops in the 
house connected just fine to an FC6 Samba share, and did nothing but set up 
a very generic share.  There shouldn't be any problem.  Have you checked all 
the silly stuff, like the capslock/numlock when entering the password?  It 
seems that the system is recognizing that the share exists if the 
username/password is being asked for.  Just make sure when connecting that 
you are using the format smb://server/share

Are you getting any type of message when it fails, that might give some hint 
as to what the problem is?

Respectfully,
Jason
