I am running CentOS 5.2 w/ Samba 3.0.28 and have a basic user level setup and am trying to use hosts allow and deny but it does not have an effect? I have specified them in the share level of the config. I have tried: hosts allow = 192.168.0.72/32 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 Also: ; hosts allow = 192.168.0.72/32 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 except 192.168.0.72/32 Still, any hosts can gain access? Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks, jlc
