Hello, Thank you for your reply. I am using the security level "SHARE" with "guest" enabled (I have only two machines on my network). The mounts are accessible by normal users (like "ale"), the permissions in '/mnt/w2k/' are 'rwxr-xr-x', the owner is "root" and group "wheel". I would like to add that I also have another share that is a FAT32 partition (WinXP) and I can browse it from the other machine (like everything else). I tried to map the guest account to the user "ale" that I use (and I can access '/mnt/w2k'), but nothing happened. This only happens in a NTFS mount point. The files and directories show as truncated, and I can not "see" (determine size, copy, determine if it is a file or directory, etc.) them until I do an operation over them with any normal user in the server, then I can see the files/dirs affected by the operation I did (ls, etc.). Before I only see the entries (names) without attributes (permissions, directory flag, etc.). Thanks and Best Regards, Ale _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
