[Samba] Sharing the \ filesystem - different samba versions

2008-02-09 Thread Michael W Cocke
This may sound stupid, but I'm honestly missing it - I was running Fedora 5, samba version 3.0.24. I just switch to Centos 5, samba version 3.0.23c. I made no changes to my smb.conf. I used to have the / filesystem shared as sys. that no longer works - the 'lowest' on the tree I can share now i

I have a Win2K Small Business Server which is also a PDC (sbsserver). I have added a FreeBSD box running Samba 3.0.28 as a member server (samba_server). I can mount shares offered by both the sbsserver and samba_server fine when I do it on the local network. However, when I connect through a V
