samba - Jul 1999 - swat setup

I am currently useing freebsd 2.2.7 to seu up a gateway,file server, samba
server.  I only want access from my local lan (192.168.0.nnn).  The server
is also dual hommed (2 nics for internet access for my local lan via a cable
modem).  I do not want the world to have access to my samba server.  I also
have a novell 3.12 server that I do not want the world to have access to.

I have tried several times to get the samba server up and running, and I
think that I have do that successfully, but I can not see the sambe server
from my win98 box.

Any suggestions?

Also, how do I get swat installed and configured, I have KDE running.

Thanks in advance!

Which interface is eth0, and which is eth1 (assuming freebsd uses 
the same terminology as linux)?  I believe samba only binds to the 
first ethernet interface it finds, unless you explicitly define 
them via the interfaces parameter.  If you assign your first 
interface the local (private) IP address, then samba should only be 
visible on your local LAN.

To keep people out via other means, you'll need to define some 
firewall rules, turn off most services, etc.  If you need to access 
it from the outside world, you can setup a VPN via ssh or a real 
IPSec type server.
