Hi, Have just introduced samba to the network with network login and it works, but when I try to use file sharing between W98 boxes I get something like: "Cannot access the list of users at this time - please try again later" Any help much appreciated. smb.conf below. Kate # Global parameters ; security = server workgroup = Applecross netbios name = elm server string = Samba %v PDC interfaces = 203.yy.xx.233/29 encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User null passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *successfully* name resolve order = wins host time server = Yes max open files = 244 socket options = TCP_NODELAY logon script = STARTUP.BAT domain logons = Yes os level = 255 lm announce = True preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes guest account = nobody create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 short preserve case = No fake oplocks = Yes strict locking = Yes
