Thanks everyone who offered help and assistance. I've found the reason why smbd would'nt
Vmware also want to be a smb server the reason nmbd was stuck in a loop Jul 30 09:23:23 gb7tf nmbd[5254]: [2003/07/30 09:23:23, 0] libsmb/nmblib.c:send_udp(756) Jul 30 09:23:23 gb7tf nmbd[5254]: Packet send failed to 192.168.1.255(138) ERR NO=Operation not permitted This believe or not was shorewall, added the rule to accept all from local to fw and it worked. Now I've recently moved from bastille to shorewall, the later being slightly easier to setup. BUT there is a major difference between them. If you stop bastille it leaves the system open, shorewall dos'nt seem to do this.. There is still 1 problem left, I cant set the samba password smbpasswd has root RW, and the file is there.But if I try to change it this happens [EMAIL PROTECTED] samba]# smbpasswd richard New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no terminating :) Failed to find entry for user richard. Failed to modify password entry for user richard ideas /pointers pleeease Thanks Richard
