[Novices] Samba and Ubuntu

[Chris Hansen]

Hi Mark, this got me up and going (Ubuntu 5.10), there's plenty of samba 
pros on this list though (I'm not one of them), hopefully one of them 
will jump on me if I suggest something ill-advised

drop to a shell
type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

(if your not familiar with vi, hit "i" to begin editing, hit the Esc key 
then type ZZ when your done, or use an editor you like, either way)
under [homes] changes writable = yes if you like
Save and exit smb.conf

type:
sudo smbpasswd -a a_username_you_wanna_allow

type:
/etc/init.d/samba restart
