Mates,

    Suse 8.2 pro, samba 2.2.7a, 2 XP pro clients. How do I get XP to allow
access to its browse list. smbclient gives an access denied error.

skyline:/home/david # smbclient -U% -L localhost
added interface ip=192.168.6.14 bcast=192.168.6.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Domain=[RB_LAW] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.7a-SuSE]

Now if I try to see the share on ripper, I get:

skyline:/home/david # smbclient -U% -L ripper

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
