I'm sure the Samba team will happily consider patches. Ah, I see. I was confused. I thought that by SMB server what was meant was Microsoft's own SMB based service - not the OpenSource Samba Server running on Linux. Still I believe that defaults should be set for common situations. Is it more common that a Cygwin user on a Windows box is dealing with SMB mounts from a Windows Server or a Linux Server using Samba. In any event I do indeed use a Linux machine at home and do use Samba to share things. I also use smbntsec. I haven't seen any problems but since I have Linux I tend to just ssh there and work with the command line there directly. Can you describe or point to these problems in Samba and how they manifest themselves? -- If I melted dry ice, could I swim in it and not get wet? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
