Hi, just a quickie I hope... Yesterday I replaced my Samba 2.2.7a server (PTServer) with a Samba 2.2.8a server (PTSamba). Two completely separate machines. I have been able to access shares on both for the past 6 months. I transferred all users' data files over, ran netconfig to swap over the Linux network settings, edited smb.conf to change the Samba server names. Rebooted both. I can access the shares on the "new" server but now can't get into any on the "old" server - keeps asking for and rejecting my username and password which worked before the swapover. I can't understand why just one is rejecting me ! I've even tried removing my username/password from Linux & smbpasswd on the old machine are recreating myself... still can't get in. Any ideas? I'm a little confused (as usual) :-)) TVM Mike --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
