Win32: Access to network resources w/o user login

[utabintarbo]

Is there a way to (programmatically) access network resources from a
WinXP client without a user being logged in? I guess I need to know
where the fstab file is in Windows.

Some more background: I am trying to access a samba share which is set
up for anonymous login (all unknown users are mapped to a known user)
with a process I hope to turn into a service (as soon as I figure
*that* out as well ).

Any help is *greatly* appreciated!

That looks *very* interesting. I will report back on my findings. It
seems to have an ftp-like interface using smb as a transport. I am not
sure this will accomplish what I am after, but I will certainly give it
hell for a bit.

When the service tries to establish a connection with the Samba server,
it will use whatever credentials it's set up to start as.
You really shouldn't have to do anything special.

However, you can initiate the connection with an alternate
username using win32net.NetUseAdd or
win32wnet.WNetAddConnection2.
