Hi I do not know how samba mailing list works. But I like to join in the mailing list. What do I have to do. Also I have the following question. I installed smaba on linux 7.3. I modifyed smb.conf file according to Linux customization file. Also I restart smb. I had not been able to connect from Linux to windows Xp or vice versa. Do you think I have to install smb client on my windows XP. So Thats all for now. I will wait for your e-mail. Thank you Avijit -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

[Samba] communication linux 7.3 with windows XP using samba.
No you dont have to install samba on the windows client.You run testparm /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf to see if smb.conf has no syntaks errors. Then you must add users with the same username and passwd as in linux.Type smbpasswd -a (username) and give passwd when prompted for it. Then run smbclient -Llocalhost to see if you can see the shares.I attach my smb.conf file which work and you can use if you get problems with yours.Remember to replace the ip-addresses in interfaces,remote announce and broadcast with the values of your lan. --- avijit <a.surchowdhury@verizon.net> skrev: > Hi> I do not know how samba mailing list works.
