Riddle me this Batman -> Samba/Linneighborhood
 
Quick quiz,

(remember I am a newbie)

I have Samba packages installed.
I have just installed LinNeighborhood.
LinNeighborhood is running perfectly. I can see the whole network and all the other pc's.

Where does Samba come into all of this. I am using LinNeighborhood. Not once did I think I used Samba.

Or does samba look after all the lower level functions that the LinNeighborhood gui relies on?

A little confused.

Cheers:study:

Uninstall Samba & try again >8-)

And for real:

It's a GUI frontend running over Samba and Smbmount using the Gimp Toolkit. It requires the GTK+ libraries installed on your system. To use internationalization you need GNU gettext on your machine.

Further it's very important to configure Samba in a proper way, otherwise you will get browse problems. Take a look at the Samba package for more information.
Cheers,
Tink

You wouldnt believe it, but that is where I got the rpm from. I just thought you knew a better one that I hadnt found.

Thanks for your time.
