Back
I am running a suite of XP pro workstations and rendering machines off a
Redhat 8.0 linux server!! I think it has quite a lot to do with your
SMB.CONF file, the permissioning in that is quite important!! And also the
groups assigned to your users. Are you running Samaba as a wins server, or
are you using another machine as the Wins???
If you like I can send you my SMB.CONF file to look at - BTW I also have a
flame suite accessing this server, using NFS, which added some problems with
permissions, I had to get around the Flame being able to write a whole lot
of stuff, and then the XP machines couldn't write into the same directory -
this was sorted using groups.
Cheers
S.

Subject: Samba v3 and WinXP issue
> Anyone using WinXP as a workstation and a Linux server? We are having a
