I don't really understand this. How would making startup scripts per PC work?
My issue is that I can only connect each client to one samba share. Once I try 
to connect the same client to a second share is throws be out with 
credentials errors.

I realise that going back to Fedora 16 will only give me problems down the 
line, but at the moment it seems as the only option - I can't go round 
updating 120+ PC very easily.

If someone comes up with a strong argument as to why I need to re-design 
everything, or at least gives me some idea of how I can do it easily I can't 
se any alternative
