[Samba] [homes]

[Robert Adkins]

Mike,

	If you need a good and quite easy method of configuring Samba, I   
recommend taking a look at webmin. It is a great tool for configuring not   
only Samba, but a variety of services on many different types of UNIX   
Operating Systems.

	It runs through a web browser and uses SSL encryption, which provides   
some decent security. Of course, you can also use it directly on the   
local machine, if you are running in X.

	Using webmin will provide you with an easy to follow Samba.conf file.   
You can also access SWAT through Webmin. Although, you should know that   
SWAT will alter your smb.conf, streamlining it for a potentially   
significant speed boost. (SWAT will remove all of your comments and leave   
just the essentials (Like all the flags you set) in the smb.conf file.

	Anyway, take a look at www.webmin.com and see what you think. Using can   
make administrating a UNIX system very easy.

Hi there.. during an installation of Samba (don't recall the version,   
maybe
2.2.6) on RH 7.2 recently it automatically created the smb.conf file and
this contained basic [global] and [homes] shares.

I've just installed the latest Samba 2.2.7 and it does not create   
smb.conf
(it says in the instructions that it won't so I'm not surprised) but...   
the
[homes] entry in the smb.conf I'd seen worked really well for me and I'd
like to use it again.

Seems that the files are now placed in other locations too !

Anyone there got a copy of it ?  I knew I should have written it down.

Mike
