correct, and the server is Mandrake, as well. > > the 2 Mandrake are in one domain. win98se can access the shares of the > win2k machines. the mandrake machines have only read access ? Right ? No. This is a dedicated server set-up with clients. The Mandrake server provides DHCP, WINS, PDC and Samba shares to ALL clients, which are a mixture of Mandrake and Windows boxes.

I have 'Client for Microsoft Networks' on the Win 98 box set to logon to a Primary Domain Controller, who's domain name is BUCALO. This is as I use to have it when my PDC was a NT 4.0 server. > But the user from the other domain (mdk) belongs to another > domain so technoslick != technoslick.mdkdomain => user unknown => gets > rights as a guest => no write access All boxes are part of the same domain. The Mandrake workstations can see the shares and view them, per the authenticity of the user's logon. They just can't write to the the shares. It doesn't matter what I do to the local permisions for /mnt/<share>, they revert back to ownership 'root', group 'root'. On the server, I have made the owner and group on my secured share to be my user name, 'pmbuc'. Doe this give you an ideas? T
