Damian, can you go into more detail about "my Samba servers won't authenticate"? Native Mode should be OK, but you'll need to go into the built-in groups, and find the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatibility" (or something like that) group. You'll need to add the "Everyone" built-in group to it. Just add it like you would add any other group into it. Once you've done this, you should be able to authenticate. ---------------------------- Jim McDonough IBM Linux Technology Center Samba Team 6 Minuteman Drive Scarborough, ME 04074 USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: (207) 885-5565 IBM tie-line: 776-9984
