Hello, I just can not see the share from a NT machine. net use shows successfully but does not show the share. C:\>net use linux11 The command completed successfully. Here I list the result of testparm and smbclient. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks a lot! Andrew testparm: Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 8849 from pid 8849) Processing section "[opt]" Loaded services file OK.
