Hello,
I had samba working fine with RH6.0
but now I cannot get it to work...
I cannot even see the SAMBA machine
in my network neighbor hood.
TCP/IP connectivity is fine...
Has something changed in this version??
Why does the smb.conf now have 'server string'
instead of 'netbios name'???
I have attached smb.conf and smb
thanks
Ken

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
