Hi All, For many years I have had an OS/2 box peer to peer Netbois over TCP/IP connecting to either stand alone WIN98 or Dual boot with OS/2. Now I've moved the laptops over to Linux. I installed Linspire which is supposed to support Samba. Being new to Samba I have no idea what to to put in the .conf file - on Linspire there's 5 of these files. All I have changed is the workgroup name. Everywhere I read it's abot installing the server side - not much on Linux being just a client. Or the other main topic Micosoft accessing a samba server. What I need is setting up amba as a Client Only any one prepared to give me a helping hand - help much appreciated!

Greetings to the land of OS/3! (GNU Linux) A lot depends on what you want Samba to do for you. If you want it to be a Domain Controller as WarpServer was, or if you just want peer to peer networking where each boxes serves and uses. There are a lot of good docs at samba.org, there are man pages right on your box (the Linux answer to view) so you could do something like "man smb.conf" to learn about the config file that way... baybe a bit dry so do the samba.org route first. As well, there are three good books out on Samba 3, two by John Terpstra and one by Rod Smith. The more you play with it, the more it will make sense. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.
