Sharing (continued)

Two tasks remained under the heading Sharing: settting up file/printserver and setting up a share. The first task ran into a snag quickly with an error message that the name ‘localhost’ wasn’t correct for a DNS server. Setting up a Samba share wasn’t error free as well. I was instructed to set up a Samba server with the Samba wizard first. Right, that was tasks number 1. The wizard to create a share could be finished nonetheless.

I could select one of four options: Add/Modify/Remove Share (expert only), Special Share (CDrom, Homes, Profiles), Public share and User share. Strange enough, when you want to add a share, there isn’t much difference between the expert option and public/user share. All options require background knowledge to set them up properly.
