Thanks, that makes sense although it isn't very clear in the HOWTO. So I'm back to square 1: I can't access shares on the server. If I try to connect remotely I'm prompted for credentials. If I try a domain user account it's rejected, same for a local UNIX user account on the Samba box. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
