derek, the version of Samba that comes with Mdk8.2 stinks in plain words. It's a huge pain in the ass to get running correctly and doesn't like to play nice with non-root users. On the other hand, the version of Samba that is currently on cooker is a different story. That one, for what ever reason, works very nicely. As for configuration the best and most idiot proof way to configure Samba is through Webmin using SWAT to create and configure all your shares and users as well as permissions. works like a charm. As long, that is, as it's a Linux server with windows clients. If you're going Linux to Linux then don't even bother mucking about with Samba. Use NFS. Much less problematic from the administrators perspective. and the user perms are good from server to client. they're native. Mark
