Samba itself is a server and is for sharing a boxes file and print resources (and possibly authentication). To access windows network resources you can use "smbclient", an ftp-like utility that comes with Samba, or "smbfs", a module for mounting SMB/CIFS files systems on Linux. Neither will help you print, IIRC, but I think NT4 and/or W2K come with LPD servers you can access from Linux, but that is not Samba related. Anyone do this regularly? >>> kethry at winternet.com 04/19/01 03:09PM >>> > Do you need to share resources located on the linux box with the > network, or do you want to access resource on the network from the > linux box? yes to both - immediately I need to access resources on the network from the linux box - eventually we'll need to access resources on the linux box vrom the rest of the network.
