Hi Jerry,
i've this samba running on a redhat enterprise 4 system with all updates
applied. samba version is that one that is shipping with redhat (Version
3.0.10-1.4E.2)
i have now added "machine password..." to my smb.conf and wait what happens,
but as said it will need some time....
thanks for your help!!
