Install the samba package. Then read the docs in /usr/doc/samba there are more than enough documents in there. You also should look at /usr/doc/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.gz, and of course the samba man page and all the man pages that it refers too. There is also a great web site with lots of mirrors at http://samba.anu.edu.au/samba/. If you are running hamm then install the samba package from slink as it is the latest stable release from the samba team(1.9.18p10). -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
