1. Install samba packages (using apt (http://uug.byu.edu/apt), apt-get install samba, etc). 2. type the following commands (this is important to allow non-root users to map samba shares): chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount 3. Install LinNeighborhood (ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/sourceforge/crux/LinNeighborhood-0.6.3-0.i386.rpm) 4. Run LinNeighborhood. You should be able to browse files from a windows network and mount the shares using LinNeighborhood. For printing, the redhat printer setup tool (under system settings) lets you install printers that are accessed via samba. The only catch is that the printer has to be supported by linux. For sharing files out from linux, I recommend using swat to set up samba: apt-get install samba-swat /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 swat on /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 smb on /etc/init.d/xinetd restart /etc/init.d/smb restart in browser: http://localhost:901 Then you can set up shares, passwords, users, etc. Michael > Thanks, > > Matthew Larson > > > > > ____________________ > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > ___________________________________________________________________ > List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list -- Michael L Torrie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
