Not been here for a few weeks. Logged in today and was shocked by the new style. Unless I have one something wrong. Gone is the Ubuntu themed Brown and Beige, and I now have a horrid red. Even worse...

OK, things have moved on ... I can now TELNET into the box, and using Nautilus, I can get as far as the password prompt for an SMB share, using the "mygroup" domain.

NOW, the snag is, despite me...
