HI Hrufius, Iam using webmin to serve my xp/2003 clients. following is the procedure what iam using.
My file server details:
Redhat 9.0 , two realtek cards , 512 mb ram , p-4
1- lan card ip : 202.x.x.x 1- lan card ip : 10.0.0.1/255.255.0.0
first create users in file server . U must use these user names/passwords to login to
your windows pcs.
for example create user :test password:123456
Now goto webmin / servers - >goto samba section . use default Home Directories share
click on "Convert Unix users to Samba users"
now goto windowsxp client pc login as test / 123456. (** you must already able to ping
your windowxp client pc.) goto mynetwork places and search for pc 10.0.0.1
it will appear and by double clicking on it will your home directory on file server.
