I read the default smb.conf and some of the docs, that is what convinced me to try something simpler. The conf I was using was copied, almost verbadim, from a Samba tutorial I found on the net (O'Reilly's Using Samba). Neither the default conf nor the tutorial's conf worked - that is why I was asking. Thanks for the input - David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
