Yes, it is (installed through apt-get): # ll /var/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-08-01 14:35 www/ >May not be the perfect way to do it, but this has been working for me >for quite some time: Thanks for the tip. I'm just concerned about who should own /var/www, and what access rights to give to /var/www so that Lighttpd and Samba work OK together. Also, I just install the following packages without knowing whether all of them are really needed: apt-get install samba samba-client samba-common samba-common-bin apt-get install smbfs winbind -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
