Re: [newbie] SAMBA why so dificult?
This did not work... unfortunatley. There is no ;[public] ;path = /home/samba ;public = yes ;writable = yes ;printable = no Mandrake 6.0 comes with linuxconf, is it not possible to share files and printers using linuxconf? what is the procedure? This is my smb.conf file: # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash) # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a # # for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you # may wish to enable # # NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm" # to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors. # #=== Global Settings = [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = LINUX # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = Samba Server # This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict # connections to machines which are on your local network. The # following example restricts access to two C class networks and # the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see # the smb.conf man page ; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127. # if you want to automatically load your printer list rather # than setting them up individually then you'll need this printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes # It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless # yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include: # bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx ; printing = bsd # Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd # otherwise the user "nobody" is used ; guest account = pcguest # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine # that connects log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb). max log size = 50 # Security mode.

Hi, Stephan, Here's a really good samba installation guide http://www.sfu.ca/~yzhang/linux/samba/index.html.

Re: [newbie] SAMBA why so dificult?
I have installed linux several times. This procedure always works. 1. Edit /etc/smb.conf and change the following MAKE SURE that the line "workgroup = MYGROUP' is CHANGED to be "workgroup = (what ever you have in windows under workgroup in settings-control panel-network-identification" 2. Change the line 'security = user' to security = share' 3. Uncomment (take out the semi-colon) the section that looks like this: ;[public] ;path = /home/samba ;public = yes ;writable = yes ;printable = no 4. If you want your whole linux machine to show up in windows, change the above "path = /home/samba" to 'path = /", otherwise, only the /home/samba directory will be available to windows. 5. Shutdown and restart samba or reboot you linux machine and it will be visible in windows network neighborhood.
