Re: Samba / Windows NT Explorer

Use the browser tools that are installed as part of the installation, you can
then adjust settings via a Netscape IE etc.

Its a little unsecure but it depends on what your after.

It gives u a graphical interface with lots of push buttons etc.

Its quite simple to set up, just remember to check inetd.conf  file for  #
outs.  It's usually the last line and is #'d out by default.

Remove the # and type in the address to your browser "your ip:901 and viola.
(remember root passwd and name are unencrypted)

Otherwise download webmin from webmin.com it does samba stuff as well as lots
of others "really cool"


Enjoy
