RE: [newbie] Is there a quick an easy t-file for setting up my Linux box on the network?

Instead of pouring thru the entire Samba installation and documentation...

 

Try

 

"smbclient -L NTBOX -U USER"

 

where   NTBOX is the name of your NT server and USER is the name of the authorized user you have set up on the NT machine.

 

This will produce a list of shares. If you can see them, you're set to go.

 

Then, "man smbclient" to learn how to mount the shares...

Subject: [newbie] Is there a quick an easy t-file for setting up my Linux box on the network?

Can anyone direct me towards to the quickest way to figure out how to get my linux box to see my WinNT shares?

 

Same with allowing telnet access into the Linux box?

 

 

I've got the network card drivers loaded and I can get on the internet through the LAN..  just don't know how to see my NT boxes.

 

I've gotten suggestions like  read the man pages.  So I found at least a 100 of them..  they have commands like netconf, linuxconf...  but there are no descriptions next to the links.

 

Thanks for your help!
