Why would you put user names in the smb.conf file? Use encrypted passwords, then using the smbpasswd command to create entries in the smb.passwd file. smbpasswd -a username The -a option tells smbpasswd that the user is in the system /etc/passwd file. You will still need to type the password. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E.
