    I'm finding it a piece of rock-cake. My brain is bruised.

    Maybe I need a chemical enhancer - a stiff single malt or three :(

    That will keep me going :)

    OK - I can see the samba server from both my Win XP machines and I can see
    both Win XP machines from SuSE. BUT none of them let me login anywhere.
    They all put up a login prompt OK - but all of them deny access.

    I did create a new user mdewhirst on every machine including the Novell
    server and all have the same password - different than root on SuSE.

    I just restarted my SuSE box to see if that would help and now it won't let
    me put in a password. So I'm stumped.

    I can tab the cursor into the password field for either root or mdewhirst
    but it won't accept any password characters.

    Any ideas?

    Apart from looking for a bottle .... yet

    TIA
