I am going to assume the directories specified have been created. Make
sure that the directory permissions are correct. Remember, unless you
specify otherwise in your smb.conf, guest users run as user nobody. If
you are logged in as a user, you have your normal user and group
access. So if user nobody, or the user you are logged in as can not read
the directory, you can not access it. Also, for the /home/smb/data
directory, make sure the peope you want to access it are in the staf
group. I am not sure, but I think the read and write settings end up
overriding the guest ok settings.

Buying a 6.2 CD would not be a bad idea - get one somewhere like
cheapbytes or Linuxmall. You can get one for about $2.00 US. You will
still have some downloading to do, but they usualy have at least some of
the updates included with their CDs, depending on when they were pressed.
If you want an idea of what you will need to download, take a look at one
of the mirrors in the updates directory. Depending on the site, there may
be a 6.1 as well as a 6.2 tree. Exactly how much you have to download
depends on how what packages you are running. Things like Netscape are
fairly large.

I know - I still have one server running 5.2, and using IPfwadm, and by
firewall is 6.2 and using IPchains.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons,
