Well, since the error message is only annoying and __not__ critical at the moment, I will just be patient then. I do not know how fam is implemented into samba and if calling the fam function in FreeBSD needs special considerations. I expected that the samba developer, responsible for the fam implementation, would have a look. I do not know if I reach that person via this mailing list. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, De jrus wah, Willy ************************************* W.K.
