Samba newbie question please.

- What does client need to do to see server?
- Where is client WORKGROUP set? ...

Client should be able to run smbclient, like this.

Looks like I have to do more server setup..

rik@rik-HP-Compaq-dc7600:~$   smbclient -L \\\\ubuntu1504
Enter rik's password:

On the server all these fields are blank in the output.

Note the double-double backslash.

You can access a SMB share like

All the config is set in the smb.conf file.

Personally, I use NFS between machines where its supported.   The
same mountpoints are shared via SMB for the odd windows client, but
realistically, file permissions and ownership gets a bit chopped up.
At least NFS does what its told, and as a bonus runs faster too.
