Greetings; I have been trying to set Samba on the latest release of Fedora to share some files on my office network. Here is my smbd.conf file: #======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] workgroup = Maison server string = Linux netbios name = Linux encrypt passwords = yes wins support = yes [data] path = /data browseable = yes valid users = Luc, root write list = Luc, root I can't see the /data share (or the Linux box for that matter) from the Win XP machines. If I map a network drive on these machines (\\192.168.1.102\data), I get prompted for a username and password (even when I am logged on the Windows box with a "root" user that I have created with the same pwd used on the Linux box) that I provide (root) but it doesn't work; here if the resulting smbd.log file content:Here is the resulting log content: [2005/07/18 00:56:24, 0] smbd/server.c:main(798) smbd version 3.0.14a-2 started.

SMB connection failed [root@localhost ~]# This command did not generate a log entry. Any help would be appreciated! Best regards, Luc Landreville
