i would bet anything someone's already asked and had this answered, but since the archives of these listss aren't searchable, and since i couldn't find the info in the docs or elsewhere on net, here goes: i've got 3 shares active on a debian box, accessing them fine from an OS X g4 and 2 win 98 boxes (the were set up and configured via the samba web admin tool from a browser when using gnome) (os X is 10.2.1) when i access dirs on those shares from the PC's, there's no problem, read, write all good. but from the mac, 2 important yuk things happen - 1. the cmd-option-arrow or opt-arrow keystrokes normally used in the os X finder don't work in those folders that are in the share 2. after closing folders and their subfolders, then closing windows, i come back to that folder right away or after other operations, and the folders and subfolders i closed are open as before. v. odd any pointers much appreciated! thanks eli fogboyATmovementbuildingDOTorg
