Configuring Linneighborhood

Can someone who uses this application help me out with setting something up please? I am using FC5 on KDE desktop. I would greatly appreciate it.

Haven't used it in a long time. What is the issue.

Linneighborhood is kind of old. Not sure if being updated. Check out smb4k network browser.

Hello again,

I also suggest you use SMB4k. It's much easier to use. It scans the network automatically. There's really no configuring.

Depending on install there may be some docs in /usr/share/doc/linneighborhood****
Been a while for it so no help to configure it. Don't really remeber doing anything to get it working.
SMB4K should work without much configuration other than changing the permissions on smbmount and smbumount commands. Doc explain what to do there.

EDIT: It's actually chmod a+x,u+x /usr/bin/smbmount and chmod a+x,u+x /usr/bin/smbumount

Here's more info on chmod and permissions.

I've only come across this permission problem once or twice in the past, I just used smb4k as root though, which is not advised but I like to live dangerously.

My error on the commands. I use the following to set the sticky bit for both.
chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
