I've never set up Samba myself, never used the MacPorts samba3 port, never used an AppleTV, certainly never tried to modify its software... All I can suggest is to try installing samba3 with MacPorts on a normal Mac. Does it work there? If no, then perhaps we can help; otherwise the problem is unique to the AppleTV setup and you'd need to gather more info. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
