Hi
Daniel I do think that the cAdmin User is in a Samba group = cAdmin
but not sure if it is in THE Samba group, Do I need to place EACH
win/nix user in THE Samba group if I want them to have access to the
shares surely not??

Rob This does ring a bell but I have made use of Webmin to create some
*nix users AFTER samba was installed and event they did not have much
joy. I will however check this agian

BTW:
It is an Ubuntu 32 bit v10.4 desktop install with Webmin v Latest -1
and Samba 3 I believe if anyone was wondering.

thanx
