[LBo] Progress on Samba

[Anita Lewis]

Ok, installation of Ubuntu is complete after fighting with a faulty 
cdrom.  Sound isn't happening and didn't happen with Knoppix; so that is 
a later concern.

Samba is working right out of the box.  I made a user named ajlewis with 
the login that I use on that computer and gave the computer the same 
name as I use on the network in Windows.  It shows up on the network.

I made another user with the same login name as my other computer with 
XP.  It is AnitaLewis, but I made it anitalewis on the Linux computer. 
I added the smbpasswd, that being the same as the one I usually use to 
login to that computer and not the same as the login I use to get on the 
network with my XP box.

I made a share of the home user directories for both ajlewis and 
anitalewis on Samba and I see them both on both the Linux box network 
and on the XP box in My Network Places.  I can view things on both.  I 
can put something on the anitalewis share and not on the ajlewis share. 
  That is not all that surprising to me, because I have logged in there 
as anitalewis and only that directory is open to me.

How do I make ajlewis share open to me and only me?

Oh, yes, and the printer works fine from the XP box.  I have to try it 
from the other Win98 box.  That box only needs to print and anyone on 
the network can print as far as I'm concerned, but I don't care if no 
one else can.  Right now opening that ajlewis share is what I need to 
do.  Do I need to make a group?  Then that means assigning permissions 
to files that allow the group to access.  Not my choice if there is a 
way in the Samba configuration.

Thanks,
Anita
