Samba Multi Users

I am fairly comfortable with Samba and have had no problem setting it up on serverl linux distros and then being able to map those folders to drives on my Windows machines.

My question though is this:

Let's say I set up a user called 'Music' and then I added this user to Samba via smbpasswd -a Music. I entered the password and then I was easily able to map that folder to a drive on Windows. Now, what if I want 2 machines to map that? As it is right now, I have to manually map that drive because both machines have different passwords to log into Windows. Is there a way to set multiple passwords on a Samba user? So that I can automatically map when Windows Boots without having the same password on both machines?

Thanks for any help.
Gregg
