Laurent;

Thanks for that info, the first answer I have been able to get.
I did know it was protocol issue we were discussing that. If netbios 
turns out to need changes it feels like that could be an easier fix.

We use it to connect NIS/NFS disk space from a Sparc box to students 
using Windows machines in public general purpose 'labs'. The student 
that authenticates via AD to login the Windows computer doesn't start 
samba or cifs their piece of storage is available they choose to map it 
or not.

*CSW is not providing a patch for the version provided?**
**You mention you are no longer supporting samba for CSW do you know who 
is?**
*
The only patch I can find is one Oracle/Solaris provides but that of 
course is for a Solaris package which I am not using.  I am between a 
rock and a kettle!

And again thanks for taking the time to help me. Samba has beem 
something that I ran without issue.
I went back and looked I think it was run on this Sparc box since 2011 
without an issue.

We are only as good as the problems we solve.
