Hi, A has "workgroup = X" and B has "workgroup = Y". It uses samba version 2.0.6 or version 2.2.0alpha1. When I make a backup from the server samba I have an error message ERRdos : errnos (access denied) about machines which are in the same workgroup. If the workgroup is different it's OK. Is ther a problem password : I ru "smbtar with -U administrator -p "machine-password" -not this one of the domain- What do you think about ?! Regards Jean Frontin * I. R. I.
