DTV_Janus Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ok so I installed Suse 10.0 to test out Linux. I got Apache installed and I'm able to host a site, but I'm running into confusion when I try to get Samba working. I have installed the packages for the services. I can SEE (from my XP machine) several folders that are got shared when I installed the Samba RPM, but none of them let me in, even when using my root account. I didnt actually "turn on" these shares, so how do I do that for a folder, say my Apache web folder, with my XP box? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[b]ip's to allow[/b] hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 [b]deny all other ip's[/b] this value is ok! interfaces = eth* lo [b]interfaces[/b] bind interfaces only = yes [b]speaks for itself[/b] [share1] [b]the actual shared folder[/b] comments speaks for itself comment = Shared_Folder path = /data1/shared writeable = yes place it in /etc/samba directory Fire up yast2 and go to security firewall and configure it to allow samba. go to network services in yast and enable samba. BTW don't forget to set proper permissions on the folder ;) "what I always forget to do." Also check suse Help which has also a samba section which is very useful!

markwolfe Veteran Posted November 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 13, 2005 Let me move this into the *nix server area, as what you are doing is setting up a simple SMB server. (Y) * thread moved * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
