Is there a way that I can turn off the messages from inetd? You get two or three messages and then there is a 5 or 10 second pause. I hardly have time to do anything. Editing a file is haphazard at best. As the messages keep coming and destroy the the display of the file. How do I check to see if the Samba install was clean?? What do you mean by starting smbd and nmbd in standalone mode? Thanks, Max --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
