Question regarding accessing Samba / please respond

[Conlan Adams]

two questions for you

what version of samba

what is the other user connecting from.  your connecting from a windows 2000
server he is connecting from...

an easy way to get a basic connection is to change the smb.conf line of
security = "somesetting" to security = share

also make sure the path you are trying to share has correct permissions on
the unix side.
