Jean-Yves,
I'm almost there !
I resolve the previous problems with your help.
Now, at the moment I'm trying to reach the drive
identified in the smb.conf file, I'm getting that
error message:
\\server is not accessible
The network path was not found
The line for the disk looks like that in the smb.conf
file :
[test]
comment = Test
path = dka0/samba
writeable = yes
public = yes
Consider that I'm trying to reach :
Server$dka0:[samba]
Thanks for your help !
Sylvain P.

Subject: RE: smbpasswd
The reason why smbpasswd with -j and -r option does not work is probably
because it's executed from a user which is not considered as "root" by
Samba/VMS.
Presently, the user is considered as "root" only if his UIC is either [1,4]
or [1,1]. I kept this feature from an older Samba/VMS port. However, I don't
like it too much.
Here is a couple of propositions about that. Could you tell me which one
looks good for you (you can make other ones, too...) ?
1. the user is root if his UIC group is within the SYSGEN parameter
MAXSYSGROUP
2. if it has some identifier (like SAMBA_ROOT)
3. If his USERNAME is SYSTEM
