Sounds like permissions to me. By default, samba accesses files as the user nobody. Add guest account = pcguest to your smb.conf, create a lowly-priveledged pcguest user, and give him rights/ownership of /u1 Alternitivly, set up encrypted passwords and remove guest ok from the share definition, or turn off encrypted passwords in windows. It's actually a toss-up over which system is less secure. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
