[snip] No replies to that post, so I tried to simplify by changing from "security = user" to "security = share." I also simplified the share settings as given in the handbook under "Reference Documentation Server." My thinking was that is was user authentication that was failing, so an old fashioned share with no access controls might work. Almost, but not quite. The FreeBSD smbclient connects fine without specifying -U. I could "get" the sample file just fine. In Vista the drive will connect but when I try to access I get "An unexpected network error occurred." No error number (59 seems to be most often associated). Interesting that the occurs when accessing, not when connecting, suggesting a permissions issue. I did not see anything about the failure in the log for that client, so it looks as though the access request never made it to smbd. Could this be a firewall issue? But then why does smbclient succeed? Should I try Samba 4.0? -- Gary Dunn Open Slate Project -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
