Felix, Thanks for the response. I (think I) learned something else -- when I went looking for .pwl files I found only two, one was <first name>.pwl. (I have no idea who or what the other was for.) Anyway, then I tried using: smbclient -L <windows host name> -U <first name> and it worked! That gives me an alternative to changing the Windows user names. regards, Randy Kramer
