You can not use samba for this task, samba uses SMB for file and printer sharing. Netware does not work that way. With only a Netware 3.x and freebsd, you can try to us mars (I saw it on redhat), or Netware NFS. The way I worked around it was using a OS/2 Warp server as a front end of the netware box, and the freebsd box and it work wonerfully. BUt I was luck in that the school had os/2 warp server. Later I moved from samba and used the OS/2 NFS package. BUt I can tell you that it was a blind journey to get all of those servers talking nicely to dos/win, win95, and os/2 warp clienmts. Stefan
