| Hi,
| It's allways a problem to access samba from XP for several reasons
| that is not samba to blame:)
|
| I see you have "username=dave" in your smb.conf and
|
| > username = dave
| > invalid users = root
| > admin users = dave
| > write list = dave
|
| will that say that the user dave resides on the linuxbox as
| well? And
| if so is that user one of a fev that's accessing the samba
| server? If
| that's the case, you ought to change the security settings
| to "user".
