Hi, We have an application which creates a bunch of PDF files in UNIX. SAMBA is running on the UNIX server. There is a Front-End application which needs to access these on fly for a user action. Currently we are mapping a drive to the Unix directory and send an open command for a particular pdf file and Acrobat comes up as expected with file info. Problem we are facing is every user who wants to use the application needs to have a Unix id and setup in samba to access the directory where PDF files reside. Is there a way we could avoid this as we could reduce a lot of UNIX id creation and setup. If possible we would like to crt one ID and use that ID to read the file in the program using that ID. Thanks Sasidhar
