Surely its not that hard to get Samba going.

If it wasn't worth the effort, how else did you enable file sharing on a
mixed client network ?

Has anyone gotten Samba working from a virgin F15 install ?


If you want it to work out of the box, move to Ubuntu.

NFS, ssh, sftp can all be made to work using Cygwin. We just finished
a thread on that. There are lots better choices than using SMB, which
is notably vulnerable to hacking. I've got every damn thing
imaginable sharing every which way, and I don't touch Samba. I used
to be an expert. Got tired of fiddling. My advice: get Microsoft out
of the loop.

sure take samba advice from someone who 'doesn't touch samba' - makes
sense to me.

How many versions of samba and windows you been through? I been
through a lot. Go back a few years and see if you can make sense of
old documentation. How-to's are great. They have a shelf-life of
about six months.

I have the Official Samba 3 HowTo dated 2003 here on my bookshelf. Yes,
there has been 2 updates to it but they are incremental and not
monumental changes. That's like 6 months X 16

I have been running Samba since about 2.2.7 (about 2000) as a Windows
Domain controller. I'm still a samba team member and the editor of
wiki.samba.org
