[Samba] Domain users can't use local hardware peripherals
Hi! I wonder if there is a way to permit domain users to access hardware connected locally to their workstations (CD/DVD burner, scanner)? On Win2k and XP this only seems to be possible for local users - or am I missing something? (BTW my PDC runs Samba-3.0.5.) Thanks and regards, Uli. +-------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | - Wuppertal - | | Germany | +-------------------------+
