Have you run /usr/local/bin/testparm? Have you checked the samba logs: /var/log/log.smbd & /var/log/log.<machinename> (may not exist)? testparm will check your smb.conf file and report any errors. It only checks that smbd will load the file and not that the settings will work with your network. It's always a good idea to check the logs. > > Thanks very much > > ---- > Jason > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Stuart Tanner <stuart@sigterm.com> "Why isn't there a special name for the tops of your feet?" -- Lily Tomlin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
