[lug] Windows *SHUTTER* Shares

[Chip Atkinson]

I thought samba was for connecting to Linux boxes from Windows boxes,
not the other way around.

My mandrake 8.0 box connects easily to my W2K box using smbmount or 
mount -t smbfs.  Here is an entry from /etc/fstab for mounting my mp3 
directory on the W2K box:

//catkinson/napster /mnt/mp3s smbfs 
username=catkinson,uid=242,gid=100,workgroup=CSBU,noauto 0 0

This is all one line.  Sorry about the wrap.  When I issue the mount 
command as root, I'm prompted for the w2k password for catkinson.  It is 
mounted as being owned by chip (user ID 242):

  ls -ld /mnt/mp3s
drwxr-xr-x    1 chip     users         512 Jul 19 16:59 /mnt/mp3s/

> Use samba for that.  The default smb.conf should get you started once you define a workgroup/domain.  Modify the example shares at the end of the file and you're set.  You may need to play with encrytped vs plain text authentication to make it work.  Good luck.
