Hi! Does anybody know how I can set up my Samba server so that an iMac computer connected to the network could see the shared Linux directories? Thanks for your help R.
hello. ive had the same problem.. if u have macos X installed, then you can use samba no problem.. however, the only solution i could find for pre macos X was a commercial product called dave from www.thursby.com.. or you could use the netatalk package for linux to share the linux directories via apple talk.. if you get info or a better (and free :) solution, please let me know.. thanks, wayne Papp R?bert wrote:>Hi! > >Does anybody know how I can set up my Samba server so that an iMac computer >connected to the network could see the shared Linux directories? >Thanks for your help > >R. > > >

You need to use a server called Netatalk which is similar to Samba, except it provides AppleTalk services for Macs. It comes as standard with many recent distros (including Mandrake 8.2 and RedHat 7.3), you may need to install it though. Alex.
