Are you using a domain account on the Mac or is it a local user?

<div>

Leroy,  this is a local user on the mac !

<div>
I have a 80% Mac environment and all my Macs have been logged onto the domain.<br />
<br />
I would suggest that you try logging it onto the domain - It makes authentication to windows servers painless and you can setup periodic sync for &quot;offline&quot; files.<br />
<br />

I have a Mac user that connects to a windows file share,<br />
<br />
When we connect to smb://home2srvr.XXXXXXXX.e<wbr />du/home2/u<wbr />sername <br />
Everything is fine,<br />
but when we connect to smb://home2srvr/username <br />
the user can see everything and open it but not save anything.<br />

Thank you
