Hi
Is there anyone who can answer to my question below? I've received an
autoreply from Tan Feng with a message that he'll be on vacation until the
6th of Feb.. I've tried to go on the site mentioned by him without
success...

Please help.

I can imagine that ... ;)

Maybe I am pulling some other-minded people at me, but as far as I
understood opensource-software until now, it has shown the best to
me to just try to install the latest stable release. Chances are good
that the problem you see has been solved inbetween.

But before starting over, try to check your logfiles.
Samba and Linux are able to talk about the problems they meet.

Try to find out what the logfiles (I don't know their default location
on Tru64) tell you and maybe increase "log level" in your smb.conf.
