Do you want the XP Home Edition users to have to supply a username &
password when access the Samba shares?

In our setup, XP Home Edition users can easily access our file server's
Samba shares by just supplying their domain username & password when
prompted for those.  (We'd used the smbldap-installer scripts, too.)
