Hello,
When I run the 'smbclient -L apollo' command at the UNIX prompt a I get an
error.
I have gone as far as I can in this DIAGNOSIS.txt file. Does anyone have
any thoughts on what may be causing my problem ?
I have made my comments to the DIAGNOSIS.txt file via '---- davidw
{comment}' so you can see what I've done to date.
Also, I thought I'd pass on the output from the log.smbd file as it may
yield some insight.
% cat log.smbd
[2002/02/12 16:35:03, 1] smbd/server.c:main(689)
smbd version 2.2.2 started.
