do the samba!

2003-09-20 Thread Tomas Taylor 




















Hi Chris,

I got cougar and bamboo
doing the samba! 

I'm sure you are well aware, Linux
understands hfs but not hfs+.  It wasn't untill I made an hfs partition the samba mountpoint
that the dance began.

So please let everyone know that a requirement for a cougar/bamboo
samba is an hfs partition.

Thanks, Tomás



Note: Next I am going down the bamboo komba
path.  If you have any words of wisdom to share with me, then please
feel free to do so.

    cougar      MacOS
10.2 - PowerBook G4 - server
    bamboo    Mandrake
Linux for PPC 9.1 - PowerBook G3 - client
    samba

    komba      KDE
graphical interface to samba 
    tango        Mac-to-Mac samba



Hello Tomas,

With 10.2 and Mandrake, you will be better of to
use Samba instead of AppleTalk.

Please consider these URLs for information:

 OS X - http://xamba.sourceforge.net/ssp/index.shtml
Linux - http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html

I hope this information helps.  Thanks.

Kind regards,
