Hi folks, I succeeded in setting up the samba, that is , partially. Namely, when I try to open the workgroup directory from Windows I created in /home/cis debian dir, windows gives me the following err: path not found" In the smb.conf file, the netlogon parameters are set as follows: domain logons = yes logon home = \\%U ; I think this line is problem logon path = \\%U\ntprofile ; and this one logon drive = c: timespace server = yes ; not sure where this line came from os level = 99 domain master = yes ; here is one line missing, don't know which one -- maybe: ; local master = yes path = /home/samba/netlogon ; netlogon is a new dir guest ok = yes writable = yes share modes = no ... So... I know there is something missing, and there is something extra, and there is definitely something wrong in these couple of lines. The question is: What? Many thanks in advance! Ned
