[luau] Samba help

[Alvin Murphy]

Not sure I know enough to help; I have wrestled with Samba on my own 
home mini lan and finally have things working. I got a lot of help from 
 "Using Samba" by Eckstein et al from O'Reilly press.  Almost no help 
from "Samba for idiots".  I think the trick is to slowly build your own 
smb.conf file as they instruct; then, if things do not work, they have a 
very good troubleshooting chapter.  In Mandrake 9, I can see windows 
shares from the command line of KDE or Gnome, as Warren spells out, by 
typing smb://<winmachine>, but I cannot copy files that way. To copy 
files I have to mount the windows share, then can copy them right inside 
KDE.  Good luck.
