Hi all, I am new to samba and just setting up a Samba server. I was looking up a few samba documents and it talks about creating the smb.conf file, syncing the "smbpasswd" files and setting samba users, almost all i have done. I was wondering if anybody would know of any good documents or sources where I could find out about the samba basics? I dont really want to do anything too complex, i have a server with 2 clients and just want to be able to share some files, do backups, share a printer etc. I am using Mandrake 9.1 and there in no windows an all on the network. Thanks very much for any help in advance, Matthew.
http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/using_samba/toc.html The full O'Reilly book on Samba. It's a very good place to start.. And to come back to for reference material.
