I am assuming (I hope not to make an @$$ out of you and me) but if it is
like BSD unix (I use FreeBSD on all my servers) then you need to edit a
file called smb.conf on my system it is in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf. In
this file you need to add a share and set up a password account on the
OsX box like so :
In the smb.conf file enter the following (changing names where
appropriate)
[foo] #(share name)
path = /home/bar #(directory to share)
read only = no #(allows the XP box to write
here as well as read)
The I would run smbpasswd and add the user of the XP box (what ever you
log in as)
I am assuming that Apple has not provided a graphical way of doing this.
You might want to try in a browser on OsX http://localhost:901 and if
swat is running you can do it graphically (at least look at the man
pages)
One day I will put OsX up on the G3 ;o)
Hope this helps
Regards,
Kat.
