Hello- I'm a new Samba user, and despite reading books, man files and web pages for a couple of days, I can't get my linux and win2k machines hooked up. I have a Red Hat 9 machine that 'Len' uses, and a win2k machine that 'Wendy' uses, that has internet access. I want want Len and Wendy to be able to copy each other's files, and of course want the linux machine to get internet access through the win2k machine. At this point, I'm having trouble with passwords. In order to use addsmbuser/smbpasswd, I have to first use useradd/passwd . However, on the Linux machine, this would make a home directory for Wendy, which I don't want to do. I just want Wendy to be able to copy Len's files. I'm guessing that perhaps I have to have some sort of guest acess, but I can't use smbpasswd on 'guest'. There must be a simple solution, but I can't find it. Please help! Also, for Len to access the win2k machine, he is prompted for a username/password. What do I do on win2k to specify the username/password? Once this is set up, should I use the Red Hat 'internet connection wizard' or settings in smb.conf to access the internet connection on the win2k machine? Thanks in advance for all suggestions
