All are connected via a local net using cat 5 cable or wifi. I have a ton of tech data on Samba, from how to get it to how to administer a large network using Samba. (I think my problem is too much data.) All I want is to publish a folder on any of the machines that can be opened by any other machine. Can anyone give me a simple step-by-step procedure for doing that? Any help appreciated.
Don, If you still have problems after putting the smb.conf in place I sent, write back. Just remember that after you put the smb.conf in place, you will have to create samba accounts for each of your users that will access the shares. To create the samba accounts use smbpasswd -a username. Use the normal unix username for the samba accounts and then use the SAME password that the windows users use to log into their machines as the smbpasswd and make sure they are using the same usernames on windows and on linux. That helps windows auto-negotiate authentication for share access. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
