Interesting to see the subject of LISa brought up on Mandrake Forum.

I can trade some tips on setting up LISa in exchange for a question on Samba

I'm �happy to say LISa works very well for me with just 2 caveats.

1/ The Configuration GUI in Control Centre has some shortcomings.
If you execute it more than once it will concatenate the new LISa settings at 
the back of the old config file with unpredictable results. I recommend 
editing the file lisarc in an editor to be sure it says what you need.

2/ In Mandrake 8.0 the lisarc configuration file is stored in an unexpected 
place. �/root/.kde/share/config/lisarc � �LISa will not automatically find it 
in this location.

LISa has to be started as root each time the computer is started. I put a 
statement
lisa -c /root/.kde/share/config/lisarc in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file to do 
this.

The '-c' tells LISa to use an explicit config file rather than searching for 
one.


In use LISa works well. I can browse from Konquerer anywhere around my 
Windows PC's, and can see my wireless LAN modem and firewall as HTML devices.


My only remaining problem is Samba related rather than LISa :-

My Win98 machine can browse my Linux file system, and can read and write to 
it.
A Win98 machine can also read from the windows partition on my Linux box, but 
can only write small files to it . Anything under 200k is fine. 

Files above 200k gives me the message "Cannot create or replace 'filename'. 
Access is denied" on my Win98 computer.

I have no trouble writing the same files to my Linux partition.

I have looked everywhere, but cannot find anything to limit file sizes. Any 
ideas anyone?
