That may help if I run a Win2K AS PDC which I'm thinking about doing now... I'm just running in a workgroup at the moment.
My prob is that once I have browsed to the Linux shares (I can see them), I cannot access the writeable ones (I *can* access the read-only ones). It gives me an invalid user/pass error, even though I authenticated as a valid user just prior. Maybe there's something wrong with my mksmbpasswd command. I edited the file and took out lines for users like root, bin, etc., so that only users allowed to samba were present. Must I not edit the smbpasswd file? George, could you send your current smb.conf (without sensitive info) for comparison's sake to [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
