I tried: ]# smbtree Enter bill's password: [root@CASE bill]# In other words, I got nada, nothing, zilch. Right now I have only one other machine connected to my LAN. Machine #1 (the one I use) is a dual boot machine with WindowsXP and Fedora 12. Machine #2 has been reformatted to remove WindowsXP and now only has Fedora 12 partitions. Neither Machine #1 nor Machine #2 have Samba installed. I double checked both machines with: ]$ rpm -qi samba package samba is not installed Just to be sure I did: ]$ service --status-all No samba, smb, smb* or the like I then looked for all samba files ]$ locate samba /etc/samba /etc/samba/lmhosts /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/sysconfig/samba ... /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/plugins/samba* ... /usr/lib64/samba/* ... the rest (...) of the samba files 'locate' found are docs and graphics ----------------------------------- /etc/samba/lmhosts only contains the the loopback: '127.0.0.1 localhost' /etc/samba/smb.conf has a few open lines mainly about remote printers; maybe some should be commented out. ???? /etc/sysconfig/samba contains: # Options to smbd SMBDOPTIONS="-D" # Options to nmbd NMBDOPTIONS="-D" # Options for winbindd WINBINDOPTIONS="" which is all Greek to me. If there is a "ghost" it has to be in these files somewhere I would think. N.B. Since originally posting this message on gnome users list I have https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554236 But if you have sense of what is happening, or can warn me about something stupid I might be doing, please let me know !!! -- Regards Bill Fedora 12, Gnome 2.28 Evo.2.28, Emacs 23.1.1 _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
