Thanks for the responce.
I don't have much experience working with Samba.
My test on the Unix server was:
# cat testfile.txt | smbclient -M window-name
I received a pop up with testfile.txt contant.

however when I type:
# smbclient -L window-client-name -N
I get the following error message:
  Anonymous login successful
  Domain=[CLEVEREX] OS=[Windows 5.0] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]

        Sharename      Type      Comment
        ---------      ----      -------
  Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------

Does it means that I have not configured Samba currectly?
Any examples on how to test Samba are mostly welcome

Thanks much,
gil

ignore these, they will exist when the first of hostname.com backup is done.

Can you access the shares by hand with smbtar/smbclient?
