Hi all... looking for some assistance with my first Samba setup.
The setup: On a small (five-computer, mixed Win2k and WinXP pro) LAN, I'd
like a share on my FreeBSD server to be available for storage. No printing,
no PDC, no individual user directories or password protection -- just a big
ol' slice of storage for everyone to access equally.
I've come close, (the share shows up in the network neighborhood and even
asks for a login) but can't get it to work (no login seems to work). Any
advice? Even better: Anyone got a sample SMB.conf that I can steal from?
The setup: FreeBSD 4.6 box with two drives. The second (and larger) drive is
mounted as /storage. Samba appears to launch correctly (the daemons are
running and the share shows up in the clients' network neighborhood). All
computers (including the Samba share, if I get it to work) will be part of
the WEST-THIRD group.
I've tried SWAT. I've tried RTFM. I've Google'd around the 'net. All to no
avail. Any advice GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Greg
