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. http://www.webmin.com/ 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: http://www.perfectreign.com/stuff/2008/smb_share.png
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." -- kai www.filesite.org || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
