Anyway, someone asked what I am trying to accomplish: I will explain and I hope to be clear, even I am not english-mother-tongue. In my opinion this is quite common especially in small offices/home networks. I have a network where some computers use Linux, some WinXP Professional, some Win Xp Home (It happens also some Mac) >From Linux machines, I can see any share on Win machines.This step is very easy Now I want that any logged user (i.e. John) may see his home folders on others machines where he can log as John (both Linux and Windows) and any user can see a common folder located on a particular machine. Now I will go through documentation and see what I can find.Tnx for help to anybody. And as the day has been very long, I will revert to you tomorrow morning -- Antonio Montagnani Skype : antoniomontag
