You do need to make sure you have a valid user although I suppose your user name would be all you need if you have a blank password, but that is a BAD idea for security reasons! I'll put some comments in so that it will aid you in understanding what is with this config file. [global] # these are just global parameters in your config file netbios name = SambaServer # This is the name that will appear to your win9x box workgroup = myworkgroup # Simply the same workgroup as are your other win 9x boxes security = user # This will control the share security at a user level, thus # username and password affect shares instead of group or Ip [music] # My share music any user can get to it with correct user/pwd comment = music share from samba # This is the info you see that describes the share in # win9x path = /home/samba/music # This is the absolute path to the directory that I will # share from writeable = yes # you get this :O) valid users = @groupname # You want to enter the group name where I have groupname of # the group that has users that can access the share create mode = # Choose createmode you want simply prefferance on your part directory mode = # Same as above just for your directories [homes] # Share of the user who connects home directory comment = your home dir path = %H # In samba %H means the absolute path of the users home # directory valid users = %S # Its the same idea as above just for users # You can add anything I used in the music share in the homes share if you want I just wanted to keep it simple and short. Now some things to watch out for are win98 or NT since both use by default encrypted passwords, this script I gave you will only really work with win95 and that is if it is before a certain patch. I would refer to the Howto on Samba if this script is not what you need. Hope this gives you a good idea as to what needs to go into the file good luck!
