[Samba] Help a newbie...
How do I use Gnome to set up a printer to share on my home networks? I've set it up on the localhost, but can't get any other computer on the network (mac or pc) to see it. prodonice -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

What kind of security to you want? If you are willing to allow guest access (no password needed), the following works fine for me: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from jhammer6.jhammer.org (192.168.0.6) # Date: 2001/08/21 20:14:15 # Global parameters [global] encrypt passwords = yes netbios name = HAMMER2 security = SHARE guest account = ftp [AllFiles] comment = All Files path = / read only = no guest ok = yes I am not clear on all the details of the guest account. If you make security = user, you will have to supply a valid password to get in. The guest account must exist on the server. To make this useful, you must allow the guest account, in this case ftp, to have access to your share on the server box with the usual permission adjustments. I run my daemons as root (They start with the startup scripts.) I do not know if things would be different if you ran the daemons as a regular user.

Any advice GREATLY appreciated! have you set up the smbpasswd file and added users to it? what do the samba logs say? if you still have trouble post your smb.conf file here. brad -- Bradley W.

Hi all... looking for some assistance with my first Samba setup. The setup: On a small (five-computer, mixed Win2k and WinXP pro) LAN, I'd like a share on my FreeBSD server to be available for storage. No printing, no PDC, no individual user directories or password protection -- just a big ol' slice of storage for everyone to access equally. I've come close, (the share shows up in the network neighborhood and even asks for a login) but can't get it to work (no login seems to work). Any advice? Even better: Anyone got a sample SMB.conf that I can steal from? The setup: FreeBSD 4.6 box with two drives. The second (and larger) drive is mounted as /storage. Samba appears to launch correctly (the daemons are running and the share shows up in the clients' network neighborhood). All computers (including the Samba share, if I get it to work) will be part of the WEST-THIRD group. I've tried SWAT. I've tried RTFM. I've Google'd around the 'net. All to no avail. Any advice GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Greg -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
