Hi,

I am still getting used to using my freeBSD 5.1 machine as a 
workstation.  have been getting frustrated with prolems surrounding the 
limited permissions my ordinary account has. In particular I cannot 
browse my local servers while logged in as my ordinary user account, but 
I can as 'root'.

is there some way i could hack something somewhere to enable my ordinary 
account so as it can see the other machines [samba etc] ?

Please 'CC' me as i'm on digest mode.
