never worked. I've delayed adding other computers to the domain until this issue is resolved - this is a new installation. I don't have an option for using Win98 - I must be able to connect Win2K boxes (not Hebrew localized). Are there any special tweaks you know of in Win2K that might change something? > The only (relevant) option we use is 'valid chars'.

You can get it from <http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~didi>. BTW, we still use samba 2.2.2, but I think the changes since then aren't relevant. Did I understand correctly? -- this patch won't help me put files from Win clients to the server, only to fetch them from the server? I'm using 2.2.7. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
