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. Art, Here are my SAMBA settings for a similar environment (NO printing, just file sharing) :
[global] workgroup = PRIVE interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth1 <-- eth1 is my network interface security = share guest ok = yes guest account = jrm <-- this is my account, which I want to share [jrm] comment = Home Directories browseable = Yes read only = No guest ok = yes <-- enables remote access without password guest account = jrm <-- gives same access rights to remote user as “jrm” path = /home/jrm <-- gives access to /home/jrm only Good luck, -- Jan Elders the Netherlands http://www.xs4all.nl/~jrme/ "Home of the Network Acronyms"
