It's also customary to include questions@freebsd.org in the CC list for threads that originated there, so followups make it into the archives.] These are settings in the smb.conf file.

Check either samba.org or the local documentation, and SWAT probably has a convenient link to it. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
