The allow hosts portion is not required, I just needed to limit the share a bit. This host is running FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE and samba 2.2.12 so it is a little old but it functions very well.

Check the samba logs, I suspect the NT client is trying to auth as DOMAIN\user instead of just user. That doesn't work because the samba server is not part of a domain; when you click OK the NT client is sending a new auth as just user. I've seen this on Win2k clients. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
