This sounds frightening. Do you mean that SWAT can ruin my whole system configuration, and not just smb.conf? > Do not attempt to configure Samba until you have read the official Samba > HOWTO docs. All of them, all variants. Ouch -- I think you're being a little severe. The PDF documents in /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.10 alone amount to 1204 pages. This seems a lot to read for someone who only needs to make a Linux printer available to the Windows machine which he has to use to do his taxes. > Anything you do wrong is your fault until you've read *all* of the docs > and adhere to them.

I personally think that Samba is a very impressive piece of work. -- Jonathan Ryshpan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Berkeley Linux Team -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
