Thanks Shridhar, I would like to know some more things about SaMBa.

Mandrake offers > samba and NFS client config. as a part of their GUI fdisk program. Why does it have to be /etc/... Can't I build a script which would just be doing that for me? I mean, do I have to rely wholly on /etc/smb.conf? Can that be place some place else? > 2)Proper mapping of samba users and unix users. It's usually done while > configuring samba. Suppose it is a single user machine (runlevel 1, not multiuser) and there is nothing called /etc/passwd? Then what? Can I store the userid/password for a single user in a file other than /etc/passwd? Does the passwd have to be encrypted? > 3)Proper file system permission on linux file systems. Thats fine :) But I think that wouldn't matter much on a single user machine, isn't it? > To access other smaba share all you need to do is normal mount command like, > # mount -t smb -ousername=user,password=xxxx //daithan/Songs /Songs > Provided you have smaba client package installed as indicated above.. Does anyone have any idea about the kernel SaMBa client and how it operates? Eagerly awaiting your reply. ~Mayuresh _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
