Whay are you mounting a FAT32 filesystem? If you want your clients to see the filespace as having FAT symantics then all you need to do on your shared resource (ie: in the share definition in smb.conf) is say "fstype = FAT". It is far preferable to use native Linux file system types that have a higher level of integrity than to use native FAT32. Have you tried this option? - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
