Allow a block of IPs (192.168.0.0/24), then deny a particular IP, but with a netmask? If you're just trying to block "192.168.0.1", then I'd take off the /24 from the end of it. I presume that you've tried restarting the server after you've made changes to its configuration? Is the /data partition mounted? You could try dismounting it, and using the /data directory in the / for a temporary test, and see if something on the same partition works with that Samba configuration. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
