Thanks to all those that offered me help with my SAMBA password problem. In the end, it turned out to be something completely different, so I'll tell you what happened in case someone else can benefit from my mistake. I didn't realize, that when WIN98 asks for a password to share a resource on the LINUX box, it expects me to be logged on to WIN98 using the same user name that I have on the LINUX box. All my shared resources on LINUX were set up by root and of course expected the root password. But my logon to WIN98 was shlomo. Adding a user called root on the WIN98 box solved my problem. //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 02-Aug-2000 Time: 19:23:51 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 7.0 machine //------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
