Art,
It should be straight forward.
(1) each user must have a unix account on each machine
(2) each user needs a smbpasswd on each machine (smbpasswd -a [username])
**(I usually try and keep the unix account password and smbpasswd the same)
(3) set up the shares you want to share in /etc/samba/smb.conf
(4) use testparm to verify the smb.conf
(5) restart smb and all should work (rcsmbd)
How is name resolution handled?? BIND? /etc/hosts? for your situation
/etc/hosts is the simple answer.
If your still having problems, post your smb.conf

From: "Art Fore"
I have been trying for a year to get samba to work with Suse (first started with SuSE 9.0) and have had no success.
Have one machine setup as a server with its default settings in Yast One machine is client, again with default setting in Yast.
It does not work with the firewall on either machine even though I enabled tcp and udp ports 137, 138, 139.
Without the firewall, I can browse the network and it shows groups, users, and profiles
If I click on users, it asks for login and password. I put in the user and password for the server, it does not authenticate.
All I want to do is to set up one machine as a server where both my wife and I can access a common directory from our two machines.
Any suggestions on how to do this or a detailed howto for a non-networking specialist would be appreciated.
