fuzzylizard Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 There are several steps that you need to go through in order to accomplish this: [1] do a google search on samba and read some of the results. There are a lot of really good samba tutorials on the web that answer this exact question.[2] Install SWAT on your computer, this will give you a graphical front end which you can use to manage samba[3] Make sure that you have the same user accounts setup on both your windows machine and on your linux machine[4] using SWAT, define the following set encrypted passwords to ON define the shares you want accessible from windows manually enter the user details of each user who needs access to the shares. (Yes, this needs to be done twice -- once as linux users and second as samba users) [5] Restart samba [6] try to login from a windows machine If you have any problems, just shout.

SoulSe Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I use Webmin to setup and admin Samba, SWAT has given me problems in the past, although I haven't used it much. SCSI disks are like any other when it comes to sharing and Samba is easy to use once you get going. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino_bosnia Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 [3] Make sure that you have the same user accounts setup on both your windows machine and on your linux machine What did U mean by this? My server also need to be a Domain Controler. Can I merge two (or 3) SCSI disks, so users see them as one disk? I should use some disks for backup, can I merge two for this? And tnx Samba works good now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon34 Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi, Use Samba-TNG for your samba role and your PDC role. You can view the docs and download from http://www.samba-tng.org/ There are also mailing lists available for help if you get stuck. I have had my PDC (Mandrake Samba-TNG) server up for around 3 months now, with no problems. Hope this is of some help. Nikon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
