guys

Hi there I just set up a small business all with suse 9.2 professional 1 pc is to be a file server
I need all machines to be able to connect and copy the files from the 1 machine.
They are all suse 9.2 I just want basic file sharing all people can have read and write access.

You'll need to install (if they're not already there) Samba and the Samba filesystem (smbfs) packages, enable file sharing from within Yast, and check the default Suse firewall rules.

Cheers,

I thought samba was just to share files with windows machines,

Apolagies, I mis-read your post

To share files between linux/unix machines, you will probably only need to install the nfs-server and nfs-utils packages, if they're not there already (see nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto).
