At least someone calls me administrator. Cool. You'll have to be root to run system-config-samba from the cli. Alternately you can go to system settings-->server settings--samba, click on that & provide the root PW when prompted. I know that the samba docs are long <but> *understanding* what you are doing will go a long way towards making your linux experience a happy one and reduce the potential for problems later. -- Bests, Jon ---- ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>¸. >>> ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>> >
