My Lan Being:
Downstairs (Samba/Linux Machine) 192.168.1.101
Laptop 192.168.1.100
Wacko 192.168.1.102
Everything was going good so far until this point

I created the host, lmhost file entries and all that EXCEPT FOR tcp
wrappers,
I did not create entries in the /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow
files.
The manual says that a single entry "ALL" should be in the deny file
and
allow file sould have: "swat : 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.1"
Which I'm guessing is why swat didn't allow me to connect to it.... Am I
right! I just couldn't find any simple explanation on the "tcp
wrappers"!!!
I opened the /etc/smb.conf file and found no entries at all in it....
But I
went to one of the windows PCs and found a new workgroup (MyGroup).
Which my
LAN is using "Freeballer"
Please help me out, I know kind of stupid questions but this is my first
time
installing/configuration samba and the other online manuals aren't for
newbies (at least
the ones I found, in my opinion)... Hey at least i'm trying huh?!
(trying to learn something besides windows)
