Ok this is my first try at trying to use samba and it failed. Wondering if someone could tell me what is wrong. Here is what i have in my smb.conf

# Global paramters
[global]
workgroup = home
netbios name = track
security = share

I was just following some walk through on a website. I am running redhat 8.0 on this computer and win98 on my other two computers. Track shows up under my network on the win98 machines but when i click on it i get a error saying "\\Track is not accessible the computer or sharename could not be found"
I know I do not have any groups listed in my smb.conf file but shouldn't it just bring up a empty folder? Thanks in advance.

not enough info to help

that smb.conf is too short to work

did you add users with smbadduser

samba will not bring up an empty folder like windows

windows has auto share enabled for IPC$, and maybe C$, D$, etc...

samba does not share by default you must enable shares

Yes I did do the smbadduser. I will try to add shared things again and see if i can get it to work. Thanks
