I think you may be a little confused. To do peer-to-peer sharing, you don't need samba. Samba IS for server(s) sharing to windows machines. You windoze machines are un-affected for their own shares regardless of what you are using for samba, with the exception of authentification. And even then, if you use Samba as a domain controller, then all it will do is tell the local machine that the particular user that is trying to access it's share is valid. If you're not use samba as a domain controller, or any other domain controller, then you will need to manage each shares permissions on their own. Kind of like if you have a monthy fee paid for a parking spot at work, it doesn't mean you can't park you car at your own house, or at a friends. Just because you have a samba server (software) installed that is able to provide access to the server drives, doesn't mean each individual machine can't share it's own drive.... see what I mean?

Hello gurus.
Happy new year to all !!
I would like to replace an Windows 2K3 Server (AD) for a Samba3, but one of the requirements is that workstations users being able to share to others users any directory or printer they want from their own machines.
Let's say:
ComputerA -\ /-ComputerB
|----------------------->|--DirectoryXX
PrinterYY--|<-----------------------|
As far as i've read at samba's doc, all the shares are made at the server side for clients to access, but what i need is to be sure that users can share to other users and give permissions to those shares, just like an active directory environment.
Is this possible with Samba??
Best regards.
