Chuck, Edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf to put your shares. I've included mine as a sample. Then start up smbd. This can be done from the script '/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb'. Then you should be able to get in. In my smb.conf you can see the share 'root' points ot '/'. Not very secure. Also to give clients full access to stuff (not reccommended but possible try 'chmod --recursive 0777 /'. That opens up every file on your system.
So basic steps Edit the smb.conf file % vi /etc/samba/smb.conf Start Samba % /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start If you want samba to start automagically then you'll have to tell your machine how...on RedHat you can run 'setup' and then pick system services and select 'smbd' and/or 'nmbd'. /B My smb.conf file [root@tutamen /]# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] netbios name = TUTAMEN workgroup = CONTEGO server string = RedHat 7.2 guest ok = true guest account = nobody public = yes getwd cache = yes wide links = no writeable = yes # Connection Options =========================================== deadtime = 360 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_KEEPALIVE max xmit = 65535 oplocks = yes read raw = yes write raw = yes # Log Options ================================================== # No Logging at all log level = 0 max log size = 0 syslog = 0 # Printer Configuration ======================================== printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = bsd # This one was in the original config file...RTMF # printing = lprng # Security Settings ============================================ # Only listen on specified interfaces bind interfaces only = yes # Only listend on these interfaces interfaces = 10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.0/255.255.255.0 # Light security security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd map to guest = Bad User # WINS Settings ================================================ # This makes my Linux a WINS server local master = yes os level = 64 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no # Share Definitions ============================================ [root] comment = Root path = / [rpm] comment = Linux RPM's path = /smb/rpm [archos] comment = Archive Of Stuff path = /smb/archos chuck wrote: > I only need for one W2K server to see one RH71 box and be able to browse. > TIA > Chuck > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
