It means the same thing it means in windows, you need to create a shared
resource in order for the windows machines to access the linux box. Take
a look at the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. A good way to do this is with
the less command: less /etc/samba/smb.conf (to exit less just hit the q
key.
There should already be some shares defined that look like this:
[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/
One I have created looks like this:
[download]
comment = Download Area
inherit acls = Yes
path = /storage/download/
read only = No
Also look through man smb.conf for a little more info. You are on a
steep learning curve and appear to be doing a good job learning but it
will take more than a couple of weeks to get it all. I have been at this
for almost 20 years and and have barely scratched the surface so just
learn the best way you can. Stick with it and be patient.
