(I used sources) do a 'locate swat' and make certain that your inetd line points to the swat executable. Then make sure you do 'killall -HUP inetd' before you try to access swat, this will make sure your inetd rereads the inetd.conf file. > My smb.conf file looks like this: >=20 > [global] > encrypt passwords =3D yes If you have setup NT to use plain text passwords, then I would think this is wrong. smbpassword will make an encrypted password (I believe). I would not try to get NT to use plain text, I've had no problems getting Samba to talk with NT and 98 without making any changes to the windows side of the house.=20 Try setting NT up as normal, and then work the Samba side to get a connection, sounds like your nearly there already. I'd get SWAT up, once your there the Samba manual is at your fingertips and you can make changes, restart smb, see your changes take effect. You can certainly get going from there. =20 >=20 > Don James > Austin, Texas Ahhhh ... How's the Republic today? I'm a long way from home and missing Texas sunsets.
