Hi Ed,
Tell us a bit more about the user that CANNOT get this to work;
for instance - 
1. is he using the same version of windows that a user that CAN 
   get it to work?
2. is the username and password that he is using to access the share
   valid, or is he perhaps getting in as guest?  You should be able
   to verify this by turning up the log level and looking at the 
   debug log for that client.
3. is the unix user he is mapped to in the same group(s) as the 
   user that CAN make it work?

Hope this helps,
Don

I'm running SAMBA 2.0.7 on HP-UX 11.0.  I have successfully
shared a drive and mapped it on Windows 95, NT 4.0 and 2000
systems.  I have copied a particular Windows Executable onto the
HP-UX hard disk and can execute them from the mapped drives.

However, when one of my users tries to execute a particular app
(one that others are able to access just fine), it fails to do anything
and the following shows up in the smbd log file:

[2000/12/19 13:27:53, 0] smbd/service.c:(213)
  <machine-name> (IP-addr) couldn't find service talks
[2000/12/19 13:27:53, 0] smbd/service.c:(213)
  <machine-name> (IP-addr) couldn't find service player32

Note that I have stripped out the machine name & IP information
in the above message.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
