You mean \\obiwan\odin

Great!  So that's what it is... Samba maps the username no matter what, but
only presents it as an option if you are the user in question or if you have
an active connection to it.

Why not?  UNIX level permissions are still in effect.  Try opening, say,
procmail.log from \\obiwan\odin in notepad.

If you can do that, then there's something I need to fix.  If not, we're
good... maybe we need a little more user education, but we're good.

Yes.  Something in your profile is telling NT to connect to it on logon.  I
could kill your profile and it'd go away, but considering it's more of a
minor annoyance than anything, I wouldn't worry too much.  I'll find where
in the registry the 'connect on logon' shares are stored and kill it
properly later.
