I'm a bit out of my depth here, so I'll leave it to someone else to check out your entries. One thing does occur to me though - I thought smbusers was what you might call a 'reserved' group, rather than just a user group, which was what I had in mind. I wouldn't have used that name in the groups. I don't do it c/l way, but I would have added user group netusers or something like that, and added the names. Looking at /etc/group, I see a typical entry of usb:x:43:anne,Andy,Micky,Nigel,Gillian,david I presume that the 43 is the number assigned to the group on creation. I presume you determined that before adding the line? (Don't be offended - I'm thrashing about). Otherwise, I can't think of anything else right now. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
