I have finally succeeded in setting up an account on my Linux box that can be accessed by my XP computer. My network is as follows: Buck on HP computer: DEER, Mac on HP Computer: TIGER, (both running XP) and a Compaq computer: Penguin (running Linux, of course) are all configured in the Wildlife workgroup. User Buck on Deer can access /home/buck on Penguin from XP. Now the question is, "Can I do that again?" Only time will tell. lol When I setup Samba according to the instructions, I had to setup a user account on Penguin for Buck and Mac so they have access to the computer from the keyboard, and then setup accounts in Samba so they have remote access. When Buck logs on from DEER, he sees his folder: /home/buck and all files and folders inside including all the hidden Linux files set him up as a Linux user. What I need to do now is to setup Buck and Mac in a user group on Penguin that can only have access remotely and can only access one folder branch (Oasis). After that I will want to setup a second group called "Processors" and a folder called "Processing" which will be their exclusive access. Finally I want to setup an "Admin" account for myself to have access to the entire Linux computer remotely or at the keyboard. I realize this is too much for one to answer on this forum, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction or outline the steps I need to lookup in the books. Thank you all for your help.
