Hi MastersOfSamba, at the weekend I felt a little bit like I have to help you in bug finding in the 3alpha21-release and I installed it over my pretty good working 2.2.7a. First of all I have to say that my samba is working as PDC emulating an NT4-DC. And i saw some very strange things. 1. Profiling is no longer working while using the same smb.conf as I used with 2.2.7a 2. In the shares I fond some new files, no one has created. Also I found some folders with the same names and this several times. For Example, I had 5 folders named 'K' or just three files named 'B'. I was not able to delete them and when I replaced the 3alpha21 against the old 2.2.7a the don't exist any longer. Greetings and hope this will help you a bit Sascha P.S.: If you like to have my smb.conf -> let me know ____________________________________________ Radio Gong 2000 GmbH & Co KG Sascha Bieler Technischer Leiter Franz-Joseph-Strasse 14 80801 M?nchen Fon: 089 - 38 166 181
