IMHO, you should be using "security = user". Give everyone a Unix account, and set the MS password using `smbpasswd'. You may want to consider upgrading to the latest Samba (version 2) from potato too. If it still doesn't work, see what kind of errors you get with smbclient, e.g. $ smbclient '\\hostname\tmp' -U whoever You can add "-d 2" or "-d 5" to get debugging output from smbclient. You can also increase the debug level, and check (IIRC) /var/log/smb for errors. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ "And so, New York has joined the fraternity of cities whose only admission requirement is to be overrun with evil zombies." http://www.sluggy.com/
