This might explain why >> I can never get the right password. Passwords are a pain...and not well documented. We use the user = herb for each drive to override the "scanning" mechanism. Plus if you log in to a novell net it seems to want to use the same login name as you used for your primary login server. "user = " seemed to solve the problems. force user will change the permissions after login, so you can user "force user" and "force group" to set those as well. Obviously there is a security issue, but you can define the same mount point to different services...so you could implement security that way.
