Access linux files with a NT service program

[dennis at evers.2y.net]

Hi,

The problem is in the NT system account. The system account doesn't have 
privilege to use the network. If you let you service start as a user (which has 
to excist on samba of course) the problem should be solved.

grtz,
Dennis
