Re: [newbies] Samba introduction

[Andrew Hunter]

I like your idea... I had never heard of Webmin before.  I'll check it 
out.  I want to learn the do-it-by-hand approach, but an easier method 
is good, too... much as when I let my students use the calculator after 
they don't need it. :-)  Thanks for the tips, everyone.  I definitely 
have a good starting point now.

oK these are all good suggestions but what you are going to want to do
is install webmin (http://webmin.com). This tool is great for everything
linux. it will help you configure cron, apache, samba, email servers. At
some point you will end up learning how to do all this by hand, but it's
nice to start with a webbased interface to "get things working"
in addition to what's been said: I have always had a problem with
remembering to add users to samba. So in order to do this you can
convert unix users to samba in webmin, or do it manually:
smbpasswd -a <username>
