I don't know if this is your problem, but something that always trips me up is that Samba doesn't use the same credentials as the Linux host, meaning you must set the Samba password independently of your user account password. I am not in front of my regular host right now, so I can't check, but I believe you need to use smbpasswd for this. -- strindberg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ strindberg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11265 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56652 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
