Windows NT with Samba: Why input password twice?

[Frank Peng]

Thank you all guys!

I fixed it by this way:
I made an account in Linux as Administrator instead of
administrator and Frank instead of frank. I made
smbpasswd -a Administrator ...

Then in Windows NT I changed the password the same as
in the Linux. Then I tried several times map network
drives. Finally, it is fine and no longer bother me
enter the password again.

My linux computer name is frank but Windows NT shows
Frank, back into Linux, Frank does not exists. Lots of
bell shit.

Thank you again!

Frank Peng.
