Hi John. Hi everyone. <snip> My username on the server is 'root' and my password is 'foobar' My username on every client is 'steve' and my password on every client is 'foobar1' I want to be able to see the w98 box 'computer3.local', IP 192.168.0.3.
Computer3.local can browse the shares on the server and print via the server so I believe all is set up O.K.
Can't I just mount it on the server somewhere and browse it from there? <snip>
Yes you can. Set the w98 box on user share mode if you are using the samba server as your domain authenticator. Add your username to the share's access list. Then mount the share with: mount -t smbfs -o username=steve,password=foobar1 //Computer3.local/sharename /mnt/comp3C Of course the dir /mnt/comp3C must exist. John
