Stil, I don't install the firewall explicitly because all of the boxes are behind a firewall anyway. This "Access denied" error comes up even if all of the components of McAfee are disabled. Only a deinstall helps. But perhaps I should go with the flow and let the firewall install with the rest and then configure it as you suggested.

Yes, likewise I've been using a previous version of McAfee and never seen this. But, where have you looked? If you use Windows Explorer all's fine. But if you happen to have Lotus Notes and try to save an attachment or attach a file and you open the file chooser dialog, it brings the error immediately. At install time there is an option to leave Lotus Notes alone. In that case there is no problem. But then there is a webapp we use, which lets you download the on-screen reports in different formats, e.g. PDF or Excel, whatever, and when you try to open the samba share, bang, access denied, and there's nothing in the logs to suggest that anything went wrong. Should I tell McAfee it should leave Internet Explorer alone because it's safe`? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
