Hi.
The server shares take a bit to come up in the browse
window, but after that each shares dirs/files come up

Is this because I have a seperate PDC samba server

This is Redhat 7.3/smb 2.2.7/SGI_XFS

1 caveat for this to work is that the smb user must
have an /etc/passwd entry. It can be null login null

blank) but the name must exist. I also had to tweak
the uid/gid feilds too.
Atleast thats what I had to do with v2.2.7.
