I was suggesting that for a new user using swat might be easier to start with, he can also have a look at the smb.conf file and see the modifications that swat did and later when he understands what is going on he can do it himself. Samba isnt really a hard tool to configure its config files are quite user friendly, unlike applications like sendmail, configuring sendmail needed you to read that 1300 page book by eric alman(?) about sendmail. > Good luck switching to samba...if you get it right, i am _positive_ > that you (and your management) will not regret saying goodbye to > billgate$$oft. ever. Yes the amount of dollars you save from the windows licencing is enough incentive to switch to linux.
