I'm getting really confused. I just added a Linux box to my network and copied the samba config files from another linux box. On the new box I have to have: nt pipe support = yes Otherwise I can't connect to the box with "security = domain". On the old box I have: nt pipe support = no Plus...this appears to impact Windows 2000 also. Is there any clarification available for when one needs this? ________________________________________ Michael D.
