OK.. (home for lunch...)
Here it is on all it's gory detail..
Some things I forgot to metion..
I f you've got the 'homes' section in your smb.comf, you should be able to
map to \\servername\username from your client. Assuming that the username
exists in /etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
Below I've included the globals, the homes and one of my shares.. the
+users means that members of the unix group users can get the share. bill
is the name of the server (what else...) and ohmark is the workgroup.
I can happily connect to this server using win95, 98se and 2k, I've not
tried XP here.. I'm also able to map to the samba shares from linux, but I
prefer to use NFS for that, so I've only played with it...
I just set the workgroup on the clients to be 'ohmark' and log into them as
a valid user in the 'users' group, with the same password as set using
smbpasswd and everything is rosy.
Hope that helps somehow...
