Is it possible to "hide" a machine that is the master broser for a workgroup - ie not make it visible in the windows explorer list? if the machine is not the master browser then it doesn't show up. smbclient -L localhost returns the machine in the list too. browsable = no is set in the global options. Is this a protocol "feature" or a samba bug? /James -- Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet. Douglas Adams
