Re: win2k laptop won't connect to redhat7.2

I didn't have any problem getting kermit to work between
win2k and linux.
Someone from the list gave me this hint for samba
I had to do the following to get win2k to work with samba
Create a group for samba (I used 'smb'),
add your users to it, and then add this to your globals:

printer admin = @smb
