Red Hat 6.2 vs NT/Windows 2K

[Peter Klosky]

Alin,

My needs are to perform a "map network drive" on the Windows host, then be able to open files that are stored on the Linux Samba host.  Here is my current smb.conf, which describes a share named "swdist" that I would like to see.  I'm thinking this is the most basic possible need.  I also include the log file from the session which fails to even negotiate a protocol, much less mention a share name or user name, as a proper mapping would include.

Hi Peter,

I have a Samba server (RH 6.2 kernel 2.4.0, samba 2.0.7) that 
successfully allows shares to users.
But before we set-up a share on a Samba server I must know what 
are your needs and then we'll make an appropriate smb.conf.
Let me know.

BTW, money is not an issue for me on this. I would gladly help you.
