Question : How do you setup a SAMBA share in Red Hat Linux so a windows server can access the drive?

I need to setup my Red Hat Linux Enterprise server to have a shared drive that is accessible by my Windows 2003 server.  Where do you go to enable and setup these features.  I belive the samba-client, samba-common are already running.

Thanks
Kenny

Answer : How do you setup a SAMBA share in Red Hat Linux so a windows server can access the drive?

You should make sure that smbd and nmbd are both running on the system.  If they are and it is configured correctly, you should be able to go to \\servername on a windows pc and see it.

It will most likely need to be configured for your needs and this is done through a configuration file called smb.conf usually located in /etc/samba.

It is a very robust application with many different configuration options.  You will most likely want to visit http://www.samba.org for further information.
