Trying my best with the trimming; I'll keep observing how other people do it
and try to learn from that.

That's what I would have thought.

Good question. My guess is perhaps since it's part of Gnome it's more
integrated and since Gnome must know my credentials when I access the
Windows shares initially, it probably has a standard place to store that
information. But this is just a guess from a day 3 day old Debian user.

I was thinking that myself but wasn't sure on the best procedure there
either so thanks for filling me in. When I get a chance I'll do just that.
Cheers,
Wayne.
