To clarify: ArcServe may be running under different credentials than the user you are logged in as on the NT 4.0 box. It's common for backup software to run or have services running under alternate credentials; this allows non-administrators to perform backup and restore operations. Make sure that the username ArcServe is using has permissions on your Samba box. To find out what this is, you can go to your Services control panel applet, and look at the startup properties for the ArcServe services, or if an event in your task scheduler starts ArcServe, check the credentials there. That reminds me of another thing: I've found that on Windows NT 4.0, when changing automatically from daylight to standard time or vice versa, it is often necessary to re-enter the passwords for each event in the task scheduler. A very strange bug, but a bug nonetheless. --Jonathan Johnson Sutinen Consulting, Inc. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
