Thus you can make a FreeBSD system serve a group of Win3.11 (WfW), Win95 or Win/NT boxes as a file and print server. Additionally you have client functionality, i.e. you can copy a file to a Windows box provided the Windows box has exported the corresponding directory. Regarding the password problems: I have none with 2.0.5-Release and samba 1.9.13. What CFLAGS are you using? --Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
