Good to hear, here's a jumpstart (for Debian/Ubuntu).

Step 1 (hat tip to tridge):

   $ sudo apt-get install samba


Step 2:

Add this to /etc/samba/smb.conf

[fuji]
   comment = Fuji Scan Dump
   path = /tmp
   guest ok = no
   read only = no
   browseable = yes
   valid users = fuji
   create mask = 0664
   force create mode = 0664

Note that I put all scans in /tmp, they then all disappear upon reboot
if not copied somewhere useful. I like this side-effect.


Step 3:

Add a password

   $ sudo smbpasswd -a fuji
   <fnarkle-blark>


Then fiddle in the fuji config setup, or more easily figure out its IP
and do it via the web interface that appears on its IP.
