Subject: Re: Samba setup
Or if you don't want to deal with passwords what-so-ever, just change the
permissions to SHARE instead of USER.

By the way if you want to use swat you need to go to localhost:901...if you
have swat installed.

And if you are new I would use that...its just nicer.



Did you create the config file yourself? If so (and assuming you are
not well versed) try setting up samba using swat remember that
passwords need to be encrypted. Also remember to put your self in the
smb password file.. Here is a basic smb.conf that just works:

[global]
        workgroup = Home
        os level = 20
        netbios name = Brahma
        server string = A joint venture of Rob and Rustin
        encrypt passwords = yes


[Web Server]
        comment = Put stuff in here for the web server
        writeable = yes
        public = yes
        path = /var/www
