With the default samba comfiguration in Mandrake you will be able to see the home directories for any user so long as you run smbpasswd -a user_name as root. When prompted give the *windows* password for that user. You will also need to set the workgroup name in the samba config file /etc/samba/smb.conf The default config file also contains lots of examples on how to set up different types of shares. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
