Let me see if I understand the situation: You have a FreeBSD box running Samba. You have Win2k boxes which connect to file shares on that FreeBSD box. When they do, the PC's can not access partitions on the FreeBSD box, unless the FreeBSD box has already accessed them. I don't quite understand the reference to NTFS. Are you saying that the *FreeBSD* box is mounting NTFS partitions, and it then makes those partitions available to the PC's via Samba? Where are those NTFS partitions located? Are they on the hard drives of the FreeBSD box? Or is the FreeBSD box mounting them from some other file server? >Note: I have subdirectories under '/mnt' like 'w2k', 'wxp', >'cam', and 'tmp'. > >What am I doing wrong? What *exactly* is your /etc/fstab file? The fact that you have directories under /mnt does not tell us anything about what filesystems you are mounting, or how they are getting mounted. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
