what version of windows are you using? Win9x is particularly bad about
returning incorrect return codes. Of course what win9x returns is a 0
not a 1 in my experience. This is because Windows really does not use
a return code like UNIX does. Windows returns a 0 in pretty much all
conditions. When I am writing code for Windows9x I never depend on
the return code, it is usually wrong.
what are the servers NT , UNIX and Samba, AIX and cifs?
