Hi All Trying to get SAMBA up and running, first between a Win ME and a Linux/ME machine. Then add my downstairs Linux Box to the set-up. Having great trouble getting the Windows Machine to see the Linux/ME.

Sometimes it does sometimes it does not. However I have never been able to get into The Linux/Share. (Ironically the Linux machine can get into all
If you've not looked at encrypted vs text password configuration, try this one: http://www.dclug.org.uk/archive/2001/07/msg00395.html
Could the fact that the Linux/Win machine have the same ID when booted in Win as it does when booted into Linux be confusing the other Windows
No. Once you've got it setup correctly, ME will simply erase the shortcuts to Network Places that no longer exist. They will re-appear next time.
Machine? (i.e. it has the same IP, workgroup and computer name. Indeed My Neighbour Hood network remembers its Windows shares).
And ignores ones that it cannot access.
Now a really dim question, I assume the other Linux machine must have SAMBA running to see the first machine which also has it running.
No. Linux <-> Linux is best done with non-Samba tools, you gain extra features and security because SAMBA converts into Windows permissions - anyone can execute everything. It's best to retain the Linux permissions if you can. You've got SSH/SCP for shell access or individual files, FTP and NFS. NFS is the closest to a 'fileshare' - edit /etc/exports on the host machine and then mount the exported filesystem: on remote system: /etc/exports /home 192.168.0.1(ro) on local system /etc/fstab remotename:/home /mnt/remote nfs ro,user,noauto 0 0 I use ro (read-only) because I use NFS to backup user data to CDR but you can omit the (ro) and ro, to allow read-write access. The user,noauto is important because you don't want the share to be mounted at boot in case the remote machine isn't running (or is still booting). - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFASGHyiAEJSii8s+MRAhAhAJ0Ub65ENhM0G13GBbO6Y2O1aiL/8gCgtwL7 V98vVMtsRbBe2w4ZMSSECMg= =3vCb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
