Standalone workstations.I can now see why all your users use the same username to connect to the share, it is because of the very reason that workgroups went away. Once you get past about 10 computers and users, workgroups get unmanageable, you have, by your own admission, over 200 users. Are you mad, or do you just like hard work ? I have looked after what I thought was a large workgroup (8 computers and 20 users) and it was hard work, but it pales into insignificance when compared with yours Can I suggest you consider setting up a Samba Active Directory domain, I can assure you it will be easier to administrate. Also, looking at your email address, it is possible you work for red-hat, if so, red-hat should know better than to run an extremely large workgroup. Rowland
