Frederick Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hi, does anyone know how to share folders that are not in the home directory as a regular user in samba (or do you have to be root?), because i find this rather limiting. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Run the Samba configuration tool (Swat) by entering localhost:901 as url in a browser, say Konqueror). There is a section for shares. If you haven't installed Swat do so. Also in MCC make sure that in Services Swat is cheacked to run whewn requested.

scarecrow Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Connection refused it says for me. Try via webmin or kcontrol, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Is that connection refused when you try localhost:901? To use it you need to enter root as user along with root password. If to samba shares make sure you have added samba users via smbpasswd. Samba has lots of good documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
