Hmm... Is there a WINS server running or are you using broadcasts for discovery? I think you are on broadcasts which is why you are seeing delays. I dont know remember what is the equivalant of "nmblokup" on NT and I am too lazy to boot into Win2K. Do a node lookup from NT after starting the Samba server and find out how long it takes to register itself in the domain. > > help?? Do you understand how UNIX access > >permissions work?

Eeeek!!! ;) > trying to get a hang of the permissions users groups > others sticky bits duh I find UNIX permissions easier to understand than the NT semantics. :) When you figure out the "rwx" fundas, I encourage you to take a look at the POSIX EA ACLs which has been implemented in FFS (FreeBSD -CURRENT), XFS and ext2 (with patches) filesystems. Run Samba recompiled with ACL support and you will get near NT style ACL semantics which you can control direclty from your NT workstation's file security(?) dialog box.
