Hello,

I am using FreeBSD 5.3 with Samba 3.0.7,1.

I can read all files from a Windows 2000 Pro. But when I try to access
a mount point that is an NTFS filesystem, I have no read permission
(files and directories appear as zero length files) until I access them
from the server machine (like doing an 'ls').

My configuration file is as follows:

===== BEGIN =====
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/12/11 19:24:02

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = VARNET
	server string = FreeBSD 5.3
	security = SHARE
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	dns proxy = No

[mnt]
	comment = Mounted Filesystems
	path = /mnt
	guest ok = Yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	printable = Yes
	browseable = No

[ale]
	comment = Ale's Home DIrectory
	path = /home/ale
	guest ok = Yes
===== END =======

Note: I have subdirectories under '/mnt' like 'w2k', 'wxp', 'cam', and
'tmp'.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Ale

P.S.: How can I get a list of shares from a Samba server (using the
Samba utilities)?
