In Fedora Core beta3 I'm using the same /etc/samba/smb.conf I used in shrike and that I use in SuSE and Mandrake. In all the others I can/could both read and copy files from Linux via the samba connected OS/2 or windoze machine. Now in FC, OS/2 can only see files on Linux, it can't copy anything to a local destination, saying "access denied". What's been changed for Samba 3 that broke OS/2? -- "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
