I modified my smb.conf file according to an old doc I found online and I'm having problems logging in from either of my XP or NT boxes to access the shares on the linux box. I can see the samba linux server in My Network Places. I get the following error if trying to connect after navigating to it from My Network Places: \\lnxwebsrvr is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use

I'm trying to learn Samba on a Linux 7.0 box. I've just installed Samba 2.0.7. I've been able to run all the tests in DIAGNOSIS.TXT, manually edit the smb.conf file, and I can even see some folders on the Samba server from a Windows 98 machine on my LAN. But I am unable to run SWAT on the Samba Server (or from any other computer on my LAN). Every time I enter http://localhost:901/

I just downloaded Samba ver2.2.8a onto my RH server and I'm unsure on how to properly configure samba. I've seen documentation online for the older versions which contain instructions for running ./configure, make, and make install. I don't see ./configure in my samba-2.2.8a directory so I'm clueless on what to do next. Can anyone assist with this? TIA

I need to get some feedback on some good reasons for incorporating Samba into a corporate environment that runs mostly Microsoft, but also Sun, and some linux systems. Can anyone here that have used Samba for more than a few months elaborate on some of their reasons for choosing to use Samba? Advantages and disadvantages are also welcomed. Many thanks in adcance.
