Hi again, one of "my" networks spans several subnets for some reason or the other. The whole net is 192.168.0.0/21. I'd really very very much like if I could put it like that into smb.conf (e.g. for hosts allow) instead of 192.168.0.0/255.255.248.0, especially since subnets tend to be added or removed from time to time. CIDR notation is shorter, removes the risk of accidentally having "holes" in the netmask and IMHO is just less confusing. Thanks alot for considering, -Malte

Why didn't I try before sending the mail? Would it have worked then as well? :-) Sorry again, Malte
