been shared out read-only for the purposes of a script which runs on the
Linux box that copies files for backup.
On one ME box, I can access the C:\WINDOWS directory without difficulty from
Linux, however, on the second ME box, the C:\WINDOWS directory does not show
up as a directory and has a zero byte size when using 'smbmount' and
'ls' as
follows:
[root@vault /root]# smbmount //dan/c /mnt/pc -o password=backup,ro
[root@vault /root]# ls -l /mnt/pc
total 2348

As you can see, the WINDOWS entry doesn't show as a directory and the size
is zero bytes.
This isn't the case on another ME box with the same smbmount and ls
commands.
Would there be some setting in Windows specific to the C:\WINDOWS directory
that prevents Samba from seeing it properly?
Thanks,
Curtis
