I am using Samba2.2.8 on my Redhat 9 system. I followed the steps given in the book using Samba by Ts, Ecstein, et al., except I did not use oplocks = no because if I use it, I will problem when I do testparm, which says "Invalid combination of parameters for service test. Level II oplocks can only be set if oplocks are also set." Then I ran smbclient -U% -L localhost But I got this: [root@RedHat samba]# smbclient -U% -L localhost added interface ip=192.168.0.215 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 timeout connecting to 127.0.0.1:139 Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Operation already in progress) Connection to localhost failed [root@RedHat samba]# I am sure how to fix this. Please educate. Thanks a lot. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
