[Samba] Is samba isntalled or not?

[Jair]

A BIG thank you for you guys for your help. Samba is up and running now.

The host is listed under network neighborhood. It is asking for a password
to connect and I cannot pass this point. But, I wil work around this
tomorrow.

I am supposing that it is something related with password encryption. Just a
guess though.

thanks again,


Jair
