I want to set up a peer-to-peer network with the sever running red hat and the hosts running win2k pro.

Is there a sample smb.conf file somewhere that I can use to set this up?

Very fresh to Linux.

Thanks for any help.

you might want to check out some of the documentation at www.samba.org or even at www.linuxdoc.org for some good samba documentation.

It is simple, below is a copy of a smb.conf file. The only thing that you have to do is enable plain text password. You can do so by starting regedit an following: (bye the way this info can be found in /usr/share/doc/samb{tab}/docs }



[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStatio
n\Parameters]
"EnablePlainTextPassword"=dword:00000001
