Samba version 3.0.10-1.fc2
PID     Username      Group         Machine

No locked files

Only thing is, I can't connect to my home directory. MSCLIENT
complains that the syntax isn't correct. Apparently it can
only handle one level of directory...

JMCCARTY at AMD586 Q:\NET> net use * \\presario-1\home\jmccarty ?
Enter password:
The syntax is incorrect.

So, it doesn't like the multiple levels.

However, I added a soft link /jmccarty -> /home/jmccarty which
I shared only to my user jmccarty, and it works just fine to
let me access my home directory.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
