One other thing to check, that I've been bitten with when reinstalling, is your 'Guest' account. I couldn't browse because I hadn't yet set up the guest account that I had listed in smb.conf. Looking through O'Reilly's 'Using Samba,' I found this buried in the middle of the paragraph at the bottom of page 276: "An erroneous guest user account can prevent the shares from being seen." Make sure your 'guest account = pcguest' line in smb.conf matches a real-life user account... --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
