After a lot of confusion on my part I got Samba running in Suse Pro. 8.1 My question now is why do I have to go to Swat and start SMBD and NMBD everytime I boot up?
Probably because it would quite a huge security risk to have smbd and nmbd run automatically.
Actually, It's not a security risk if you're using a good firewall and you're binding samba to your internal IP only (bind interfaces only = yes & interfaces = 192.168.0.5/24) The real issue, is the firewall. If you don't let anything into ports 137-139, you'll never have a problem! :) -- Travis
