As you can see it only gives you one pretty basic share in this case named "grafik".
Now get samba running, do "rcsmb restart". Later on you would check it in Yast to make sure it runs in runlevel 3 and/or 5.
Now fire up webmin ((localhost:10000) - you DO have webmin installed, right?))
Um, never heard of it. I have it now.
It isn't included in smart - that came up with something called webpin.
Oh, and it is https://localhost:10000/ - need the SSL portion. I decided to trust myself and accepted my certificate. :)
See enclosed screenshot and at:

goto Samba. Now convert all users (or just your account to smb users) - and set your samba password.
Not quite sure where that part is - i messed around with webmin and haven't had success yet.
Alternatively, do #/usr/bin/smbpasswd your-user-name", this will also create a smb user/passwd in /etc/samba/smbpasswd etc.
I think I did that...
xwing:/home/kai # /usr/bin/smbpasswd kai New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Then goto konquerer and type "smb://IP-of-your-samba-server-could-be-localhost"
smb://kai@192.168.0.101
Timeout on server 192.168.0.101
This should give you a list of shares, in this case just the "grafik" share. When this runs, you may hereafter start playing with smb.conf, remember to restart smb after each modif. Do "rcsmb restart"
Did that.
This is way too complicated. I'm actually very annoyed - not that I have an excuse for a free OS - that I can't just right-click a folder in Konqueror and have this "just work."
Hmm... It can be very difficult to get the initial samba configuration right but when you have it running it very solid. IMHO SWAT is probably the best tool for setting up samba for someone who dislikes working from the command line (forget webmin). Have a quick look at man swat. What is not clear here whether you are using this in your home setup, or your work setup, and which version of windows is involved (networking capabilities vary between versions). Microsoft networking can get quite involved and some of the legacy protocols are no longer actively supported. If this is a work environment with AD there is likely to be a bit of work to be performed to allow both machines to communicate. - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
