Samba
Samba is a Linux/Windows file mapper. It should be part of the Linux package.
A link : samba
Starting Samba
It is assumed the Linux IP is 192.168.1.2 It is assumed the WinNT network
consists of WinNT workstations only. A special case that applies here.
The service just has to be started : set START_SMB = yes in the system config
After the next 'init 2', samba will be running.
On another machine have a browser and set the URL : 192.168.1.2:901 and the samba screen
should appear after loging in as 'root'.
Configuring Samba
There is a lot of help available as help links. Use them to get specific questions answered.
