Samba and Wine

[marksgt]

I want to know if there are any good documentation sites for newbies to Samba and Wine. I have know idea how to set the up etc and I really want to move from Win98 to Linux full time but can't without these components installed and properly configured. I am currently running OpenLinux 2.2.3. I tried to download and install an rpm of wine but I keep getting errors saying there are unsatisfied dependencies....something to do with glibc2.1 so.6. I have no idea what this is! <br>
<br>
I have successfully installed Samba...but do not know how to configure the smb.conf file or what to expect once the Samba server starts. Will I be able to access files on the Linux machine from a Win 98 machine?<br>
<br>
Any directions will be much appreciated....including any suggestions on some good reading material. <p>Mark Sargent<br><a href=mailto:sargent@getadvanced.net>sargent@getadvanced.net</a><br><a href=

I got samba working great by editing smb.conf<br>
<br>
Always remember to restart the smb daemon by going entering<br>
<br>
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart<br>
<br>
Also make the domain for your workgroup in all CAPITAL LETTERS (it works better)<br>
