I am running samba on a Linux (actually Centos-5.2) server on my little home network, which has 5 Fedora machines and 1 or 2 Windows XP (Home) desktops. My question is: can I, or even should I, add a stanza, say [windows], to /etc/samba/smb.conf to give information about the Windows client? If I did this, would it enable me to access files on the Windows machine from my Linux laptop? Could some kind soul give an example of such a stanza, if indeed there is such a thing. I'm puzzled about this, because I googled for "smb.conf examples" and looked at quite a few, but none of them had an entry for a Windows share, even though most of them had Windows clients. I might mention that I installed samba to back up my Windows machine(s) with BackupPC. This is working perfectly, backing up both Fedora and Windows machines. Also I can see my Linux shares on the Windows machine. But as I said, I cannot see the Windows share on my Linux machines. All suggestions and explanations gratefully received. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
