Okay - Samba is up and working fine. I changed /home to browseable, and can now 
get to the directories by entering my Samba user name and password. Happily 
backing up my laptop to my Samba share before swapping out the harddrive 
tomorrow. The group doing the harddrive will image the old disk - but it will 
be a relief to have a backup on a Samba share at home just in case. 
 
Now I need to clean this up a bit. On my W2K laptop I can create scheduled 
backups. Just need to make sure I'm logged on to the Samba server. So I will 
have to figure that one out. Hmmmm - think I'm bgriffis on the laptop and bruce 
on the desktop and samba server. That must be the last thing to do.
