Linux Issues

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

Try the samba users list. This is for clients. But to get it to work you need to
change the "workgroup" parameter in /etc/samba/smb.conf and restart the
service. That will allow you to "see" the Linux machine provided your network is setup
correctly (ping?). Then to share stuff enable encrypted passwords by running:

# cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smbpasswd

Or something similar. See /usr/share/samba-xxx/docs/ENCRYPTION.txt. Then do:

# smbpasswd nick

and set the password to the same as your windows one. That will get you started
but you'll need to follow up with groups.google.com and/or do a google on samba
share linux ... etc to really figure out how it all works. I recommend the book by
John Bliar too.
