Yes. Use Unix file system permissions as you should. Read chapter 13 of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf file that can be obtained from: http://us1.samba.org/samba/devl/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf Basically, you need to set the directory permissions to write and execute, but NOT read. That way the files in the directory will not be listed. - 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
