Mention the share name and properties /etc/samba/smb.conf and restart smb service. Then u need to create a samba user using useradd command and add it into the samba database by using smbpasswd -a <user name> Then if you try to access the same from windows/linux, it will ask for the username and password of samba share. Let me know if you face any difficulty in setting up samba in linux Thanks, Krishnaprasad -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Vivek Mangal Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2008 9:46 AM To: Red Hat Subject: Re: mount Linux directory on Windows I already try this command but nothing happen and its for mounting Windows directory on Linux using Windows Samba Server.
