It depends upon smb.conf (in /usr/etc or /usr/local/etc/). You might have to add them to the samba database with smbpasswd or pdbedit (depending upon the version of samba that you are using.) If the security is domain or server then be sure that the two new people have been added to the Microsoft domain. Having been in a similar position (where someone who knew everything was let go and suddenly it's my problem--and with no raise in salary:) ) please let me know if this isn't clear. From your post, I'm not sure how familiar you are with your Linux server. It will depend upon where samba which is what is making the Linux shares available to the Windows machines, is searching for authentication. Also, let us know what version of samba you are running, if possible. - -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Wicca girl: We come together, daughters of Gaia, sisters to the moon.
