Jon, Please, please use the resources we provide before posting questions like this. Did you read the book "Samba-3 by Example" before you asked your questions here? I think you will find a fully working solution in chapter 3.
The latest version (still being edited) can be downloaded from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf Note: The book uses SUSE Linux as its reference base so you will beed to adjust pathes and Samba binary names according to the way Mandrake have named the binary files . - John T.
