hello, i use Sun Solaris 2.7 and Samba 2.04b. Iwant to use netgroups for host and user to restict access . I user in me samba.conf file host allow = @servergroup the host server has no access. but when i use the hstname of server host allow = server1 it works. I compile the sources of samba be using the autoconfig script. It is a bug or must i use a speziel Compiler Define ? thanks wolfgang -- Weisheit des Tages ( Quelle PC Magazin News) "We build software like cathedrals! First we build them; then we pray!"
