With this setting, you can't see *anything* on the Samba server from Windows unless the user a correct username+password are supplied. This is a pain unless your Windows + linux usernames+passwords are the same. security = share is the easiest to manage, as the share list is visible to all users. You can then manage security with the "valid users" and "invalid users" list per share. > ; guest account = nobody It may be wise to set up a special user (e.g. smbguest) for the guest account Anthony -- Anthony Williams Author of C++ Concurrency in Action | http://www.manning.com/williams Custom Software Development | http://www.justsoftwaresolutions.co.uk Just Software Solutions Ltd, Registered in England, Company Number 5478976.
