Samba 2.0.7, redhat 6.2-derived servers, Windows 98 clients. I had a *lot* of fiddling to get everything to see everything else, and I was never sure what had been wrong and what fixed it, but it works now (two different Linux servers serving disk shares accessed by the windows boxes, plus some windows boxes sharing as well). I'm not asking Samba to be PDC, in fact nothing is being PDC. Thus I'm using share-level access control. I had to play quite a lot with default user settings and SMBusers and SMBpaswd files. As I say, I'm not really sure I understand how and why it works now or how and why it didn't before. -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / dd-b at dd-b.net SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
