Win98 Logon batch script question

    I've got a linux box running samba to act as a file/print server for a workgroup. It runs a logon batch script to map network shares on the samba server as drives. That's all well and good, but I also want to do the same for a zipdrive connected to one of the workgroup PCs (win98). Is there a way to send a password as part of the logon script, so that only people who have authenticated via the samba server can access it?

    Something like NET USE \\WIN98\ZIPDRIVE PASSWORD=blah?

    NET USE x: \\machine\share password /USER:domain\username

    that should do it.

    If you want to be prompted for the password set "password" to "*"

    Unless you have a domain controller the domain would be the machine your connecting to.

    Didn't need a username, 'cos the Win98 PC uses share-level access control. But it works grand - thanks!
