Earlier today I wrote the following regarding a Samba setup: >I can't access it from the laptop.

I finally gave up on Samba 3.5 and installed Samba 2.2.12 and this gave me a functioning system. Not much user security, but then the previous setup didn't have any so I'm not going backwards - just not a lot forward. I suspect that my problem with the new version had to do with what Linux user owned the actual files and what the effective user was of a client. I'll set up an experimental installation on one of my home systems and figure it out. But not tonight ... :) -- Mike Schuh, Seattle USA
