I've set up home directories with Samba thusly in the config file: [homes] user = %S comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes with my global values: [global] user=zack workgroup = STUDIO browseable = yes locking = yes lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks share modes = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY os level = 0 preferred master = no domain master = no local master = no wins support = no wins server preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes When I connect with smbclient from a machine other than the server that's running smbd, I can connect with the commandline: smbclient '\\Arkham\zack' -U zack although the prompt says "connected as guest security=share", which seems wrong, since I tried connecting as "zack". Anyway, when I try connecting via NT, I get the list of shared directories OK, and the "zack" folder appears, but when I double click on it, type in my name and password, I get the message: \\Arkham\zack is not accessible. The account is not authorized to login from this station. I'm running debugging levels 2 on nmbd, and 5 on smbd, and neither show any new output when I try to connect to the "zack" folder. My NT machine that I'm connecting from is called "control_tower". The permissions on my home directory are 755, owned by "zack". Any ideas? Zachariah
