Hi All. This has got me stumped!!! I created a share the other day like I do all the time. There's about 10 users in the group. All of them can access the share fine, except for one guy. He's a valid user and has many other share drives on this system that are working fine. All 10 users are using a Windows XP platform. The log.smbd has an entry like this for his requests: username (192.168.1.145) couldn't find service share-name for the folder The "for the folder" part of the error stands out to me, but I don't know what it means. using smbclient locally (and remotely) I can map to this share using his credentials fine.. the share in smb.conf looks like this [share-name] path=/usr/local/share/groups/share-name valid users = @share-name @ntadmin admin users = @ntadmin force group = share-name create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 any thoughts ?

Are the share name, group name and user name all using plain ASCII characters? Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"
