Hi klipp,

> I can not add users ( I can add them, but that causes the server to no longer be recognized).
Something comes to my mind regarding addition of users: For a short time (2-3 days) there was a user*.zip package on my Samba page that produced a bad master.passwd under certain circumstances (Symptom: Empty GID field in master.passwd).

In case that is the problem, get latest user*.zip from my Samba page, remove offending users with userdelpm.exe and recreate them with useraddpm.exe

Kind regards,
herwigb

HEY herwigb!!!!! That fixed it! Thank you ever sooo much!
And Paul, Don't sweat the documentation, Keep doing what you do best --we ALL owe you & herwigb BIGTIME!
As soon as I get done figureing out all the ways of "screwing up" Samba for eCS and finally have everything working (I still have to make Windoz box's connect and share the servers printer) and I'm finally at a point where I actually know what I'm talking about, I'll put together a "Poor Mans" How-to for Samba for OS2 and pass it on to herwigb for editing and approval and posting on his site, if he approves of it.
   One last point herwigb, I'd like to use you're Samba Widget for xcenter/ecenter, I'm really uninformed when it come to REXX, could you elaborate on items 4,5,&6 in the installation procedure?
  Thanks again.

Hi,
glad it worked out (and sorry for the inconveniance).

klipp, in case you did not notice I reworked http://svn.netlabs.org/samba/wiki during the last days.

Every contribution is very welcome and I will gladly accept a reworked cookbook and integrate it into the Wiki.

Kind regards,
Herwig
