Re: linux-W networks

[Greg Julius <fromRedHat outtacyte com>]

Hi,

I'm a newbie, now a week old, but I was able to get the samba server up
and running.  With that done, I was able to find my Linux machine
from the windows machines.

I used an O'Reilly book, Using Samba to get it configured.  I
find the man and info stuff just a bit unreadable, but the info is in
there.

Basically I did the following things:  In the global section I
identified the workgroup/Domain which my windows machines were in, set
encrypt password to yes, added to Linux my windows user id with windows
password, set up the smbpasswd with the windows user and password. 
That got my machine recognized.  Then I added some disk shares to
make the some of Linux directory visible to me (my shared data vfat
partition).

I am sure there are others much more knowledgeable out there that could
offer both of us some more advice.  I'm always in the market for
good advice.
