Take a look at the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. A good way to do this is with the less command: less /etc/samba/smb.conf (to exit less just hit the q key. There should already be some shares defined that look like this: [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No inherit acls = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ One I have created looks like this: [download] comment = Download Area inherit acls = Yes path = /storage/download/ read only = No Also look throughman smb.conf for a little more info. You are on a steep learning curve and appear to be doing a good job learning but it will take more than a couple of weeks to get it all. I have been at this for almost 20 years and and have barely scratched the surface so just learn the best way you can.

Don't bother, man pages are less than useful. They are - IMO - harmful in general. They cause more confusion than assistance.

Open a terminal (konsole) and run the following command whereis nmbd you should get nmbd: /usr/sbin/nmbd /usr/share/man/man8/nmbd.8.gz If you don't it appears that something is mucked up in your install of samba. Try the following command in a terminal whereis smdb you should get smbd: /usr/sbin/smbd /usr/share/man/man8/smbd.8.gz If you don't I suggest you reinstall samba using Yast. -- Regards, Graham Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
