I am using old version of samba, i.e. 1.9.18p8 in RH 5.1 with a few windoz clients... I have tried the 'smbclient -M client', but the message just went away somewhere. It never appear on any machine I have tried. What is the root cause of this problem ? Do I have to set any thing in windoz clients ? Thanks for your advice. Panyarak
