Perhaps something I can understand? Have you checked out SWAT? If you've configured it (you require samba, swat AND apache typically), try pointing your web browser at: http://yourlinuxbox:901 and see if it's there. If so, log in using the root account and password (DON'T expose swat to the Internet!) SWAT lets you easily set up a basic smb.conf file. This will help you build a WORKING config that you can study. Once you've got the basics going with swat, read the manpage for smb.conf, and you should be in good shape. - Bob To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
