When I try to access these shares from the NT box, I can access only USER1 home directory. For USER2, I always get the login dialog. I have used smbpasswd to add USER2, but still can't access it. One other issue, is the umask for all the users on Linux is set to 027. All I can see for USER1, is some dot files.
Time is relative.
Here is a new way to look at time.
