[ILUG] Samba questions

Hi, I've just set up a samba server and have a few problems which I'm
hoping some of you may have run in to before... :-)

I want to authenticate against the unix passwd file, and this works fine
from NT/Win2K which allows you to specify a username/passwd. However for
Win95/98 you can only specify a passwd. A workaround is to change your
windows username & passwd to the same as the unix box, but this is ugly.
Are there any other ways of doing this with authentication against
/etc/passwd ?

Also does anyone know how to log out of a samba share from an NT/2000 box
so that you can connect to the same samba share again with a different
username/passwd? So far the only way I've found of doing this is to logoff
windows, and back on again. Obviously a right pain...

Paul
