I am puzzled by the behaviour when I try to transfer files between the two computers on this small lan. ComputerA has an /orb unit attached to it [removable 2.2 gb hd] onto which I had written the latest .rpms for suse9.1 I had updated computerA with the rpms and wanted to do the same with computerB but without moving the orb drive - leaving it connected to computerA. I added to computerA fstab: scn.snj:/orb /mnt/orb smbfs acl,user_xattr 0 0 ComputerB `sees' the files as /orb but I cannot fully transfer them. Only about 330kb gets transferred so of course YAST cannot do its job. I need help?! thanks -- Cheers, Serge [Naggar Consulting]
