Well I pretty much live on the php and samba groups and as much as I have wanted to tell some newbie who has obviously not RTFMed to RTFM, I instead choose to help those users by directly emailing them and working on their issue(s) (See attached) And to answer your question no I do not just join mailing lists and start blaming people who provide services for free. I should explain what started this chain of events so you can see why I am in such a foul mood. 1) I suffer from migraines and have had one for over 5 days now and am letting it affect my work and am taking it out on people I see, as for that I am sorry to those who I have directed it at. 2) I have received several flames asking me to prove myself worthy and have not seen any useful suggestions for problems I have. 3) I have a server down now for well over 2 weeks due to this issue I am having with the advansys SCSI card and have not made time to reload FC1 on it yet which is making me edgy. 4) I just installed a new g-force 4 card in my desktop and can not get the enhanced drivers put out by NVIDIA to run with it on FC1 or FC2 (Yes I need to RTFM some more). Now I realize that none of these items should excuse me wanting you guys to snap to and do something but I hope you now see why I was so frustrated this morning, and yes I did choose the wrong place to take my frustrations out, so I apologize again hoping that you will understand why I blew and that it was directed at so many things not just the FC team. > > them with drives attached.

I switched to Linux 5 years ago to be part of this revolution and back then people cared about the people using their products and cared about customer service. Today I see too many people in the US especially with a MC Job attitude, 'Its not my fault blame the corp, or my favorite Would you like fries with that?' when most of the time no I don't want fries and that person taking 15 more seconds and actually putting some care in to their work even if they are working at McDonalds serving a lunch rush would not have me and the rest of the world wondering where "Customer Service" has gone. Yes I realize that they are not getting paid enough to be customer service employees but hell who is? It all comes down to taking and extra 15 seconds with each person and fixing the problem the first time not passing it up the chain of authority, as has to happen all too frequently any more. I stopped working telephone tech support when I started getting graded on how long it was taking to serve each customers needs most effectively and completely. (In working for a HP contractor I was the only person in my queue of over 500 to have 1 person call back for the same issue in over a year the remainder of the customers I worked with were satisfied with the answers I gave them even when my management was breathing down my neck for call time issues as I would not abide by their 5 minute per call time limit. I feel that if you have a problem and bring it to a customer support representative then you deserve a solution to your problem.) > > Regards, > Sean -- Jeffrey D.

But if you send me you net config smb.conf and smbpasswd file I will take a look and see if I spot your problem. In the meantime I found that stepping back and taking a break helps.
