Hi. Pardon my butting in, but I have a question. I have Samba setup for my 2
sons' dual booting Mandrake/Windows 98SE. I don't have Samba as a service
running until I issue the "service smb start" command. I use NFS when they
are in Linux. All works well, When in Samba, I can run it as a service and a
bit later it shows up in Network Neighborhood on their Windows side. What
shows up is my entire /home directory. This is a bit more than I wanted them
to see. I'd like for them to just see, and have access (r,w) to
/home/darklord/public. Thats how I have NFS setup. I played with smb.conf but
never got it just right.
Any thoughts, ideas? Thanks! :-)
PS I did look at the example in smb.conf but...no go.
