Do a google for LinNeighborhood, not quite sure if I understand the second bit??
I got that...but I want to use konqueror. smb://[pcname]/ does the trick.
The second part: I read somewhere that Konqueror crashes when trying to access a share from a pc which is shut down.
If you put them in seperate workgroups then you won't be able to see the Linux shares from the windows machine, hence defeating the purpose of this entire excercise.
Err, your Linux and Windows shares are seperate anyways, surely?! Samba and NFS are two different systems and one doesn't affect the other, surely?
All IPs in my network are dynamic, and NFS works with static IPs so I use Samba as well for linux-linux shares.
I meant: when I boot the PC into windows (multiboot...), all the shares change. If I create directories for all shares as on [http://www.mozillaquest.com/Linux02/..._Story-01.html], it gets messed up when a pc boots into Windows (or vice versa).
Can only do restrictions by user, so user A can see shares 1 2 and 3 but user B can only see 1 and 2.
Ok I'm slightly confused about your network setup, can you post the exact details, ie. how many machines, how many are Linux/Windows and how they are set at present?
This is done under Samba config in Webmin again. Click on the Share you want to change the access properties of and then "security and access control".
Then in Valid Users or Groups type the user or group name that you want to allow access, all others will be denied. Alternatively you can deny access only to certain users in the same way.
If saturn is in linux, and mercure in windows, I need to be able to access the shares. If saturn is in windows, and mercure in linux, I need to be able to access the shares...so: platform independance. That is samba.
Ahh ok I follow you now, I was under the impression you had one Linux server and several Win client machines, hence my faliure to understand why you wanted the setup you do.
I've never tried/had any experience with two seperate workgroups such as you want, since none of the setups I've worked with have need for it. My best advice here is to try it and see what happens. Set both the Linux installs to one workgroup in Samba as I described earlier. Set the Windows installs to another (in Network Properties in 95/98/ME, or right click->properties in 2k/XP) and see what happens.
If it doesn't work straight away, try setting static IPs for all (seperate ones for all installs may help avoid confusion, so 4 IPs in total) and make sure all are in the same subnet.
Hope it works, post back here with any errors or if it works.
