RE: [PLUG] SAMBA Server


You know... after screwing with this stuff for the first time last night,
I'm inclined to agree with you, Paul.

The web-based tools didn't really work all that well, and the conf files
aren't too evil to manage, really.

I found this to be helpful:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/samba.htm

Also, what distribution are you using, Gary? Do you need CUPS support, that
kind of thing?

SWAT is OK, but I prefer the editing the config manually.  Some people
like to use Webmin, which also has modules for administering other
services through a browser.
