When I genned FC5 from scratch, I tried to setup samba from scratch as well using swat (which had worked previously fairly easily), but I could never get any public shares or printers to show up on my Windows XP box. Eventually I tried substituting my old FC4 smb.conf file, and everything worked perfectly. Here's what seems to function for me to let my LaserJet 6L show up on the Windows network: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2006/09/04 10:16:43 [global] workgroup = WORKGRP server string = Samba Server security = SHARE null passwords = Yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [public] comment = Public Share on Zooty path = /zooty/public read only = No guest ok = Yes [backupgrommit] comment = Network backup for grommit path = /backup/grommit read only = No guest ok = Yes When I add printer on Windows XP, I tell it there is a LaserJet 6L at the other end, so the "raw" cups data will show up in the right format. P.S. This is a local network behind a router with no open ports, so don't all you crackers out there start salivating at the prospect of a network to break into :-).
