No, that didn't work either. It turns out that several other applications are using reserved characters in filenames that they use within their respective .<app config dir> within the home directory. This now explains all of the other problems that I had when I migrated to using Samba shares for my home directory. Here is a list of applications that I found that are using the colon ":" character in configuration files in my home directory: Evolution Wine Picasa (via wine) VNC Opera Pulse Audio Nautilus Rhythmbox (if your track name has a colon) Possibly many others. I will repost to the Samba mailing list using a more dire subject like "Samba home shares breaks many applications" In the meantime I have reverted back to using NFS for my home shares until I can sort this out further. Thanks for your help. Bob --bs On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 4:35 PM, DanKegel <[email protected]> wrote:
