Of course you are right. There is a tool named SWAT for administering Samba. But I couldn't get it to work as I want it to. Maybe I'm just too silly *sigh* or I didn't spend enough time for it, but I'm used to "hack" smb.conf and I know exactly what I get for what I type in. But for beginners, of course SWAT may be interesting. Stephan -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: Ray Leach [mailto:raymondl@knowledgefactory.co.za] Gesendet: Dienstag, 8.

Hi All,
I have a nt 4.0 network with winxp en 2 suse linux 7.3 pc's. In the tree
of the
network i can see mij windows machines but not the Linux machines. Wat can I do to show them in the networklist (tree) and also keep it safe
In order to see them in the windows-nw-tree and to access them from windows, you have to install SAMBA. With this tool you can access folders on the linux machine as if this were folders on windows-machines. Samba is part of SuSE-Linux, just install it and configure /etc/smb.conf (or /etc/samba/smb.conf depending on the SuSE-Verison you use). Also define START_SMB="yes" in /etc/rc.config. Then start it with "rcsmb start" et voila: You now should see you shared folders on the linux-machine(s).
