Thank you.] I recently did a clean install of FreeBSD 4.8 on my gateway/firewall box. Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to save my old smb.conf file for Samba before I reinstalled the OS (silly me). I use Samba to provide one shared folder full of music, movies, etc. to my internal network at home and previously had it set up to where anyone inside could browse or write to it (meaning I just "trust everyone" on my network). I didn't remember this being terribly difficult as this configuration should be incredibly simple to achieve but I was wrong. My current smb.conf looks like this: [global] workgroup =3D MYWORKGROUP netbios name =3D MYGATEWAYBOX security =3D SHARE hosts allow =3D 192.168.0. [Shared] path =3D /u1 read only =3D No guest ok =3D Yes /u1 is a separate partition that acts as a network storage drive. Is there something I'm missing here? This serves to allow me access to browse the folder, but I get an access denied error when I try to copy anything to it. Just for giggles, I tried telling Windows (XP Pro) to "connect as a different user" and put in my log in info (same as my regular log in on the box), but I see that I'm still logged in and browsing the share as a guest (nobody) which I thought was a bit odd. I'm using Samba 3.0 Alpha 20. Before the re-install, I had this working perfectly. Thanks, Scott
