...a win2k machine that 'Wendy' uses, that has internet access. I want want Len and Wendy to be able to copy each other's files, and of course want the linux machine to get internet access through the win2k machine. At this point, I'm having trouble with passwords. In order to use addsmbuser/smbpasswd, I have to first use useradd/passwd . However, on the Linux machine, this would make a home directory for Wendy, which I don't want to do. I just want Wendy to be able to copy Len's files.

...I found /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd in the old file system. I moved it to the new file system. Now I can change|edit one user (gelmce) account, yet another user account (chuck) fails due to "Failed to find entry for user chuck." IIRC, there was a command to add samba users....like 'addsmbuser'. I'll check the 'docs'. Again, Thanks. Chuck
