It appears the the URL is incorrect. I found samba at ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/pub/samba/ but I dont know if it's what you want. I just know it's not at the URL you quoted. > I can see samba in /usr/ports/net, so it's there on my machine.

I think. BTW: it's no help to you now, but I plan to install SAMBA myself and add the instructions to The FreeBSD Diary. If anyone has other suggested entries, please let me know. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - my [mis]adventures http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
