[Samba] First shot at smb.conf 1/2 right...
Hello: I am running Mandrake 9.2 and Webmin (although I am learning to configure samba via console and smb.conf). I created an account on the Linux box called employee because the Windows PCs were being prompted for a password if the password = share was selected. Now I force the connections to use the employee account. I have the server up and running, and the server share /Projects is viewable from all 3 windows PCs. They can click and open /Projects (but not save items there). There are two other folders within /Projects called /Projects/2004 and /Projects/Others that show up as folders (the path on the linux box is /Projects/2004 and /Projects/Others). However, when the Windows PCs click on the 2004 or the Others, they get the following message: //Projects/2004 is not accessible. The share name was not found. Be sure you typed it correctly. Below is my smb.conf file (comments on it and suggestions for it would be greatly appreciated). Thank you for your time and assistance...

[Fwd: [Samba] First shot at smb.conf 1/2 right...]
Hello: Here is my smb.conf file. I have removed the path statements from 2004 and Others and my Windows clients can now open and save to the shares. (aside...why does having the path = /Projects/2004 not let the Windows Clients open those shares while removing the path statements allows it?) Is there a simple way to add all of the subfolders located in Projects (i.e., project folders/files) to be included in the shares if they are created in the /Projects folder on the server? The /Projects folder is mapped to a 2GB HD FAT32 within the Linux box. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.

[Samba] Found my answer...New Question.
I have found my own answers... :) Did I just miss this information (or is it not listed anywhere obvious) that when you add a drive to the Linux box for FAT32 use with samba, that it is located, on the Linux box, at /home/user/mnt/nameyougaveit? I do have the Official Samba-3 book and plan to read it starting tonight. Is there anything IMPORTANT I need to know if I still use 2.28?

[Samba] Configuring File Server via Webmin
Hello: I have set up samba and webmin on my Mandrake 9.2 system (P4 1.7GHz, 512Mb RAM, 60G HD). My windows clients can see the shared folders but are prompted for a password when trying to access the share. 1. How do I set a password in Webmin? 2. Can I nest directories that I create in Webmin for Samba use? (e.g., a folder for projects that when clicked contains folders for years or client names). Any assistance would be appreciated.
