Hi I have the samba software running with minimum security settings. Anybody can access any shared file. I am trying to configure a Windows 2000 machine to access these files. I am having problems with accessing files that have 600 permission settings. I created a user with the same user name as the one on UNIX but am still not able to access these files. How do I convince samba that this external user is the same as the local user. Thanks in advance. -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
