Hi. I had seen a posting from another user with the same issue. Here's question 1: For some reason when the guest account = guest, browsing is not possible. When set to guest = root, no problem. I'm not sure what this guy did to fix it but I'd love find out... Here's question 2: Unfortunately, I am using XP for work on a laptop. The 'top belongs in the company's existing W2K domain already. In the past I have been able to browse to Samba workgroups and access shares with no issue while using this laptop. The Samba in my private network (my lab) is 3.0.2a and I am using Fedora Core 1. So my question is: Is there some reason Samba and Fedora appear to be a bit of a mismatch? Also I noticed in the 3.0.2 (I believe it was .7) there was a reload for the smb daemon. What has happened to that functionality? Thanks for any and all answers or suggestions that may be provided. Regards, --james

Traditionally (and by default), the guest account is 'nobody', which does exist in /etc/passwd Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett abartlet@pcug.org.au Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team abartlet@samba.org Student Network Administrator, Hawker College abartlet@hawkerc.net http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
