Because your username on the server isn't the same as your username locally. You can force it to store the password by connecting as username@xxx.xxxxxx.xxxxx. This is, of course, hatefully stupid, and awkward to remember. Me, I use AFP, which I find generally less hateful. Mind you, Netatalk on Debian doesn't have secure password support compiled in for licensing reasons, so I have to build it myself, and it doesn't handle files over 2GB. Like, say, disk images backing up my machine. Bah. I'd mention how much less I hate the 10.3.3 file sharing model, but that's, er, not the point here, is it? -- :: paul :: historic light coneThere's stuff above here
