hi i try to mount a samba share from a windowsclient the entry in the smb.conf is: [formax] path = /home/DOMAIN/stefan1/Desktop read only = yes browseable = yes valid users = DOMAIN:stefan1 DOMAIN:max create mode = 0444 when i connect with DOMAIN:max the smbd log says: Jul 21 19:36:43 linux smbd[9088]: [2003/07/21 19:36:43, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(56) Jul 21 19:36:43 linux smbd[9088]: chdir (/home/DOMAIN/stefan1/Desktop) failed what can cause that error? is it a problem with changing the permission? i've added "auth required pam_winbind.so" into /etc/pam.d/samba -> is that the right way to tell samba how to authenticate users?? thanks ciao stefan --------------------------------- Gesendet von http://mail.yahoo.de

There should be an entry in your log files saying "connect to service <servicename> initially as user <username>". See what the username is there and make sure they have permission to enter the directory. Cheers, Paul
