Samba was developed in the early 1990s as a way for Linux users to access windows shares as well as enabling the use of a Linux file server to emulate a Windows file server.  In over 20 years a lot of exciting things have happened in the development of SMB/CIFS networking protocol support in Linux.  However, one major achievement has been completely neglected.  If a user wishes to have seamless mounting and access to a Windows share, under his own linux desktop login name to the windows network share of the same login name, independent of each login, and persistent after reboot, then there is no simple solution.Samba was developed in the early 1990s as a way for Linux users to access windows shares as well as enabling the use of a Linux file server to emulate a Windows file server.  In over 20 years a lot of exciting things have happened in the development of [[Linux CIFS Utils and Samba]].  However, one major achievement has been completely neglected.  If a user wishes to have seamless mounting and access to a Windows share, under his own linux desktop login name to the windows network share of the same login name, independent of each login, and persistent after reboot, then there is no simple solution.
