There was a patch added to the samba port ( after 3.3 I believe ) to address this very issue. I would try a fresh 3.3 install, cvsup the ports collection, install samba from the ports and try your test again. For info on the patch see : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/samba/patches/patch-ah I also believe this will be addressed in samba-2.0.6 I think. -- Joseph Scott joseph.scott@owp.csus.edu Office Of Water Programs - CSU Sacramento To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
