Re: Request for smb.conf for W98 interface

["identity" <id vo lu>]

that's not necessary. If you have this line in your smb.conf you don't need
to turn encrypted passwords off in win98

   encrypt passwords = yes

The main problem is if you have to add users to smb or linux. I recommend
using the program "smbadduser" for each user on your network:

smbadduser nameonthelinuxbox:nameonthewinbox

nameonthelinuxbox and nameonthewinbox can be the same. If you don't want to
do this, just add the user to your linux box (which must be done!)

here is a copy of my smb.conf:

; /etc/smb.conf
;
; Make sure and restart the server after making changes to this file:
; /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
;

[global]
# Uncomment this if you want a guest account
;  guest account = nobody

# This is the workgroup
   workgroup = GateNet
   encrypt passwords = yes

# This will be seen in the description field
   server string = Linux Server

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your locl network.
   hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

   lock directory = /var/lock/samba

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   read only = no
   create mode = 0644

[Public]
   comment = Public Workspace
   path = /network/public
   public = yes
   writeable = yes
   printable = no
   create mode = 0644

[Collections]
   comment = Collections
   path = /network/collections
   public = yes
   writeable = yes
   printable = no
   write list = @adm
   create mode = 0644


addapt this to suit your needs.
