I agree. I've been having problems as well and the documentation doesn't seem to be up to par. Although I don't think this is the place for the discussion (but I don't know where the right place is either ;). I've been trying to get my system working as well ( WFW 3.11 client with FreeBSD 2.1 server) I can mount any publicly available drive but something like /home just doesn't work. I can't seem to get the password authentication working. Something I did notice is that public drives get mounted as noboby ( ie GID, UID = 65535, 65535 ). This might explain why I can never get the right password. Another thing I can't get right is the name service. I just can't seem to manage a browsable network. All I get it "Network unavailable". :( If this discussion belongs in another group please tell me the list. If you have any idea what is going on, even better. Thanks for listening to me rant. Later, Geoff.
