I said I wanted to really figure out what was causing these problems, yesterday, but, I don't feel any closer to that understanding than I did before I started all this..... I need to go through those two smb.conf configuration files and see what's different, for one thing -- that should tell me something. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
