In my silly mind.... ( didnt try this experiment )...but i'd
say that your W2K machine will see the [homes] folder
but i'd hate to guess whats in it .... since "path=/home" is not defined
in samba....similarly....hate to see whats in the printers folder
since printcap was commented out too in the stanza just below [global]
- does that mean that without path specified....tht
samba sets its default path to / and is now writeable to
say /etc/passwd since ro is turned off too...(ie that its writable )
have fun samba'ing...
