Ok, I'm a total networking idiot and don't know what
to put in the smb.conf file and used swat before
probably under Debian if not (K)ubuntu to set the
smb.conf up. I have setup a root user in Kubuntu and
tried it with wget and tried Kdrc and Kdfb all to no
avail. What I want to do is to be able to interact
between the 2 computers on my lan(one Kubuntu Dapper
and one with WXP). If I can't access swat with Kubuntu
could you give me a link to help setup the
smb.conf(Man pages are useless for me, I read them.)
Is there another way to access(r, w, x) the computers
on a lan other than Samba. I definitely could use some
specifics here. All comments/suggestions very much appreciated.
