Ah, but it is not complete. SWAT is there, but none of the files from /usr/share/swat are on the system. SWAT is not enabled in inetd.conf. OSX does not use /etc/passwd as a Unix user would expect. Essentially, Apple do a minimal share arrangement with samba. Have fun trying to make it all work. ;) PS: I do not have a MAc with OSX, this info was gleaned from trying to help someone get samba working properly. We got SWAT working by copying all the /usr/share/swat stuff off a Linux system. But the rest - could do with a bit of work. It would be good if we can work with Apple to get the wrinkles ironed out. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
