tried this but not understanding the commands i havnt been able to mod
it to suit my system

if its meant to be used as is

i got no output in /tmp

Since ive used a number of smb.conf's now it suggests a samba bug or an
obscure setting

i guess its possible that debian has compiled barfed binaries

regards

Thing
