I'm not running a samba server, I'm accessing a share from a Win2003 system, and my understanding of smbpasswd is that it would be used for setting passwords for a local share as accessed by other client systems. Am I missing something? I used the same smbmount invocations previously with a Windows 2000 server, but it got upgraded to Windows 2003, and things broke. The part that has me really scratching my head is that, while I persistently get this permission denied error when I try to smbmount the partition, I can access it fine with smbclient, not only listing files, but saving them to the local system! -Ben -- "The best way to predict the future is to invent it." - XEROX PARC slogan, circa 1978
