samba - Feb 2002 - A question from a newbie

Hello All,

I am new to Samba so my question may seem a bit stupid, redundant, etc to 
this list.  Basically what I want to do is to be able to access any 
directory on my Slackware 8.0 box from my Win2k computer.  All of the 
documentation that I have seen leads me to believe that this is not 
possible.  I am looking in the wrong place?  Any and all help is 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

This is possible! This is what samba is for!
Install samba on the Slackware Box, create a share with "paht = /", 
appliy the registry key in w2k to allow plaintext passwords (or set 
up encrypted passwords on samba) and you are fine.
