Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew if Samba version 2.2.3a ran on Red Hat 7.3 will work with Windows 7. Currently even after editing the registry on the Windows system, I am able to connect but not log in. If you think that it will not work, is there a version of Samba that will work that is compatible with Red Hat 7.3 Thanks for your time. Ben Arthur

Thanks John, I had seen that but I did not get the error that it mentioned, so I was wondering if something had changed. Thanks for your help!
