Patrick: Thanks for your reply.
Actually I found the answer about 30 minutes later in another posting. It works great. Now all Windoze platforms can log into our Mac OS X server using their domain tokens. Which naturally means no additional logins. Their domain login caries through. I use the very cool Samba Sharing Package 1.5 from http://xamba.sourceforge.net/ssp/index.shtml for Mac OS X. It has a nice GUI to Samba 2.2.3a. If you have a Mac OS X system you should check it out. The package includes a veto files statement to exclude some common Mac OS X files. The veto files statement did not include the "?" that Marcel's solution has. Once I added them. Every thing work great. Here is the answer. And thanks to Marcel for finding the solution and posting it. Bill [Samba] Samba and XP share drive bug error Marcel Kunath [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Mar 2 13:51:10 2002 I reported about this in December when it seemed I was the first one who stumbled across this. I written the developers twice about it by now and it is still not fixed. Now it is kind of annoying since I get a bunch of people email me every week asking the same question again and again. If you use XP and Samba and veto files in smb.conf then you must use veto files = /.?*/ and not veto files = /.*/ to avoid this error on the client side: [path] refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to another location.
