Samba connection timeout

Hi friends, i am using samba 3.0 on rhel-4, it works fine i am getting the share folder in linux and windows xp as well with username and password for first time only then for next time it will not ask me the username and password for samba user. Actually i want to fix idle-timeout and password authentication for user every time the user want to access the samba share folder.

AFAIK if you are using Windows, and choose to save username and password, there will be no point of setting timeout for each time you access your samba, windows will immediately give username and password - which already stored in your Windows' profile...

In windows there is no option to save the username password at the time of access samba share folder.
