Hello Everyone...
I have successfully connected the Samba to windows networked and configured
it.
The only problem that I have is I am not able to make a publically
accessible folder
whihc can be read/write anywhere from windows network.
Though I tried to set the smb.conf and restart the samba daemons.
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /home/public
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable =yes
But When i click on network neighbourhood it says public folder not
accessible.
I want to make a public folder that doesnot need any username and password
to get into.
Secondly, for creating the user accounts to linux machine i used useradd
username but
in network neightbourhood on clicking it opens with the
invalid username and password message box.
If anyone has got a wonder ideas please suggest.
