Note that you won't need Samba, unless you plan to use your machine as a file server for windows machines. You can mount windows shares using smbmount or with ordinary mount command, provided your kernel supports smbfs. Try something like this: mount -t smbfs //cripple/shareddir /mnt/windows -o username=cindy ...of course, replace the placeholders with real names, where: cripple = SMB name of the machine, as shown in the "network identification" tab of "system configuration" shareddir = name of a real shared directory /mnt/windows - you can call this one whatever you like, only take care that the directory with this name already exists when you issue the command above. cindy = your username _on the windows machine_; or any user account that is allowed to access the shared directory. Do this as root, and with some luck it will work (it's not that reliable, sometimes it will work and sometimes not, I still haven't found out what's causing this behaviour). In order to share files between linux machines, use nfs. In order to access files on a linux machine from both windows and linux, configure an ftp server. Someone told me recently that it's possible to mount directories on remote machines with ssh. I haven't had time to check that out yet, but that sound promising (easy and transparent).
