Tom, Thank you for your reply; the usernames in both Linux and Windows don't match; however, Windows 2000's "Map Network Drive" dialogue has a place to enter both the username and password, so I've been trying through there. In the event that I need to change the username/make a new user for the person who is trying to access the shares, can *nix usernames contain spaces? (e.g. "John Smith") Thank you, - Kathy Vaughan -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
