There is no way to control where that goes, I believe ... > Does the MACHINE.SID file dependent of the hardware of the server? If Samba finds an existing MACHINE.SID, I believe it uses that. You cannot have two system on the network with the same machine SID. However, I do not believe there is a parameter that allows you to control where Samba will look for this stuff. I think you will have to build two different versions of Samba to support this or allow $prefix to be set at run time. This is a problem, however, because I believe that symbols like LOGFILEDIR are hard coded all over Samba. Regards ----- Richard Sharpe, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
