Thats fantastic news, I thought I was the only one paranoid enough to not want to run anything new when I am having a joy run with 7.2,,,, (you should get them added to the contribs section of rpmfind: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/index.html you'd be very popular. Postfix is the one I wanted most though, thats for work, Samba is for play until I understand it enough to make it usable in a work senario. I have only ever setup web/email servers with linux (starting with RH4 ages ago) and I am a perl cgi developer,, tonight is my first effort to use Samba.. Incidently, is there any thing specific I need to know to get samba shares accessable to a windows 2000 fat32 box? I have two shares running in samba, /mnt/windows is just a fat32 partition I want to share, and /shares is a reiserfs directory I setup as a share... in the windoze "my network places" window, I get my linux box showing up, (this test box is called zues) but when I try to get into it, I get the password box and no matter if I try encrypted passwords or plain text it won't let me in. I have samba setup so that unix users are samba users (except for the obvious no-nos like root and stuff) I have created an equivalent user on the linux box for my windows username and matched the passwords, and still I cannot get into this thing... is there anything significant I need to know to get this working with 2000pro? I get the feeling this would be easier to do with win95/98/98SE/ME any suggestions would be great.... rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: Michael D.

And you are correct, I probably won't upgrade our server to 8.x until 8.2 comes out.
