I see 'homes' and am invited to put in a username and password, so I don't see any others. In konqueror's lan browser I see only my own home directory on the server machine. As I said, I'm mainly concerned these days with linux to linux, but I've just borrowed my granddaughter's Win98 box to test this out. She can only see her own home directory. There is a folder called 'homes' which may be a bit confusing, but in there she again sees only her own home directory. I struggled so long to sort out problems I had a couple of months ago, and it's possible that I've changed more than strictly necessary, but at least it is working. I think Danesh's problem stems from write-access permissions, but we'll see what he reports back. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
