hi, i've updateds some apar in red hat 9 and after the updates, the new users cant access the drive in windows GUI. however, they can access the shared drive using LInux environment. This does not affect the existing users before the apar updates. All existing users can map their drive manually.

ONly new users added into the group cannot access the winxp gui. but they can access it via linux command prompt.

is it something to do wit samba?

these are teh APAR that i've updated
