I've actually been working with Samba and Windows implementation for a while now but i've never come accross this issue till now and i don't know... but somehow i feel like getting stuck but if someone had asked me earlier i would have answered "Of course you can - it's just a matter of setting the umount binary suid root" - but here we go...it doesn't seem to be this simple and i don't know what the problem really is... :o Thanks to everyone who gives a suggestion towards fixing my issue! -- chEErs Ron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
