[KLUG Members] linux as print server (IT'S ALIVE...)

[bill]

Further news:

Commented out a line in smb.conf that read:

guest account = (win9x machine name)

and restarted samba with

/sbin/service smb restart

and "Samba Server" started showing up in Network Neighborhood.  I can browse users on the
linux machine and view the contents if I know the passwords (which makes me now nervous about
what is showing up on the internet).  Also browsed and set up the printer, the original task
of this escapade.  Test page printed o.k.

So, what does this all mean?  I've printed out and read through man smb.conf (so how do you
get man to print page numbers, that one's a whopper).  But still need a bit of info on what's
going on.  Gotta be more details somewhere...   man something?  url?  book in the linux
library?

All suggestions appreciated.

kind regards,

bill
