My feeling is that samba = sharing = more than one person accessing the information = you should invest time into understanding exactly what you're doing because you're not the only person involved any more. So maybe it shouldn't just work, but the exercise of getting it working gives you more of an understanding of what you're actually doing. Now I'm sure that won't be a popular view (: Steve
