What I'll suggest is not directly related to your Samba config problem. It is something I found very useful while setting up my own samba server. I guess there's even a USE flag for it. Its SWAT, its a web based management program to control Samba settings. It is very useful and user-friendly. You should give it a try. -- Daniel da Veiga Filosofia de TI: Programadores de verdade consideram o conceito "o que você vê é o que você tem" tão ruim em editores de texto quanto em mulheres.
