Okay I think have been at this too long but I refuse to give up on this
problem.
I did as you suggested and I stripped out the "valid users" as you are most
correct at this point I want it simple. At this point all I really want is
fo a windows client to be able to connect to the samba server. However
still no dice. I do not understand why I can see the name under the FICMX
workgroup but no shares appear. If anybody has any thoughts on this while I
read through some more docs I would be most greatful.
Copy of the last smb.conf mod job. :)
[maisis]
comment = Cool Guy's Test Directory
path = /home/maisis
readonly = no
guest ok = yes
Thanks,
Bill
