Try: valid users = Sky, Cas If you have a user Sky on both machines, and the Win2000 password for Sky matches the /etc/samba/smbpasswd (check for the same UID.) and you should be set. Your friend does have to login as Sky and give Sky's samba password. I'm not a Samba expert by an means. The real Gurus on the List may find other problem entries. I have Win3.1 and a Win98 on a home LAN. I use them to mostly to troubleshoot my friends' Windows apps. And whenever relatives come to visit, they can access their AOL and Juno e-mail accounts. Try putting the spaces between the names, restart Samba (as root) with: service smb restart In Win2000, when you map the share, it would be in form: \\linuxmachinename\Drive_F Best, Tom -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
