FW: [Samba] Accessing Samba share with Win2k

[Joe Giles]

I tried this, and I was unable to set the variable for the names and groups. I used %U and %G. Im pretty sure those are them. When I set to force user or groupe using those variables, it didnt work for me... Should it? Maybe I was doing something wrong...

Thanks
