I hear your frustration in the tomne of your email. Hang in there. It works. Why don't you give it a stab and then get back with specific problems. Red hat has a decent doc to get you started at : http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/ch-samba.html Are you wanting to attach windows machines to a linux server or trying to mount a share and/or use a printer from the Linux box that is on a windows box. what version of windows are we talking? I my experience, the thing that gives the most problem is the encrypted passwords. Setting this up correctly is in the document refered to above. You will need to ask specific questions. I am sure we can get you going. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
