I've added a second Linux box to my little network. It was stated in a previous thread in this list that SAMBA3 is basically just as good as NFS for file and printer sharing... so, with that advice (to somebody else) I'll stick with SAMBA (that I already use for sharing with the Windows box). To share files, directories and devices (CD, DVD, etc.) on both Linux machines (i.e., in two directions), I need to run SAMBA server on both machines, and SAMBA client on both machines as well, is that right? When I configure in YaST, I need to declare the workgroup (default is "TUX-NET"). Should SAMBA server on the second machine be assigned the same workgroup? Or is that a conflict? Should one be serving to (say) TUX-NET1 and the other to TUX-NET2? I'll use an actual name of my own choosing, but should it be one workgroup name for both servers, or a different workgroup for each? Also, on a newly installed SuSE 9.2 system, is there any reason why YaST should not be completely sufficient to get SAMBA working? That is, is there any possible setup parameter for SAMBA that would need me to edit the files directly? I haven't even considered printing yet; just file/directory shares, so this config must be about as simple as it gets for SAMBA, right? Kevin PS: Referring to a recent thread with my name on it --I installed a newer hub/router, and yes the DHCP server in my old one was broken ...
