Well, you can use lisa to set up the network browsing, browse from the command line, or, you can install LinNeighborhood (on the 8.1 second disk). LinNeighborhood allows non-root users to access network shares--you will have to do a chmod +s to /usr/bin/smbmnt, /usr/bin/smbmount, and /usr/bin/smbumount, though. Once installed you will find it in Networking>Other. To allow everyone to access the /home/public share, as root#chmod 2777 /home/public. I'm not really clear where your public folder is located, so I used /home/public as my example. ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: ----------------------------------------
