Ok. I went back and saw that Mandrake had only installed the Samba rpm and
did not install the client and common rpms. I installed these and I no
longer get any freeze ups with SAMBA. However when I click on the computer
that contains my share file, my share file does not come up. But when I
click on the computer that contains the printer share, all of the shares on
that computer are visible. (this is working with gnomba by the way) My share
file is located on a computer that is running win2000. Could this be a
problem? I can see the share fine from a computer using Be and from
computers using NT. Also I get the following error messges when I shutdown:
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35.smb: [ := : unary operation expected
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/k75netfs: [ := : unary operation expected
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K90network [ := : unary operation expected
And when I boot I get similar messages:
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network [ := : unary operation expected
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S91smb: [ := : unary operation expected
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S25netfs: [:= : unary operation expected
Any ideas what could be causing this?
