Acutally it is what I wanted for the G3. Now that I know that OSXV9 is
not multi-homed, I understand what and how to set this up. Ideas will be
tested soon.

The problem now is enabling the G5 & G4 (OSXV10) to be able to write to
the samba shares. I have no problem reading the samba shares from the G4
and a Win2K boxens. (Ignore G5 atm). The Win2k can write to any of the
shares.
Both authenticate by mounting the shares as linux users. This is enough
for the win2K boxen to be able to push stuff onto the samba shares.
However, the G4 can not do this. It can write to the users home
directory, but not the shares.
So I am after another clueby on what to look for to fix this.
extract from smb.conf if that helps.
