Hi Jarrod,
I tried using SWAT and WEBMIN to configure my SAMBA but it never works exactly
the way I wanted it. So I would edit the smb.comf file manually.
Here's the conf file off my fax, file and print server. There are win98 and
win2k clients. It's setup so it chmods the files to 777 so windows can still
modify them.
I set up the permissions on a per IP basis so I didn't need to worry about
users. Could never get that to work, I guess I'll have to look into that
some more. :)
How this helps.
