When I use the smbpasswd utility that came with samba-1.9.18p5-1, I get the following error: load_client_codepage: filename /etc/codepages/codepage.850 does not exist. It's true. There is no /etc/codepages directory. If you have one, maybe it belongs to an rpm package, and you can tell me which one (rpm -qvf /etc/codepages/codepage.850 to see)? Or is this a direct product of samba, and I don't have it because I used an rpm, and didn't compile it myself? //\ --rich // \ // / \ Richard Mann -- Systems Administrator // / / \ P u b l i c a t i o n S e r v i c e s, I n c. \\ / / / Champaign, Illinois, USA 61821 (217) 398-2060 x232 \\ / / \\ / http://www.pubserv.com http://www.primesynergy.com \\/
