I am just trying to get Samba to work...period. I want to get by without messing around with security stuff, for now. I am doing this as root. Do I *have to* set up passwords, on both the Linux and Windows machine, or can I get it up and running without that. Don't mean to sound demanding & selfish, I have been at this for a while, and it is frustrating. -- Rick Rosinski http://rickrosinski.com rick@rickrosinski.com
