    Karl,

    Just to get things going quickly, you might like to try using the Samba
    Web Administration Tool (SWAT).

    To get this up and running do the following:
      - Assuming you have the SWAT binaries on your system, either pre-built
    or made from sources.
      - Check that your /etc/services file has a line like:
            swat 901/tcp
        if not, add it.
      - Add the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf
            swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
        The full path being the one appropriate to where you installed SWAT.
      - One you have edited /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf you need to
    send a HUP signal to inetd. To do this use kill -1 PID where PID is the
    process ID of the inetd daemon. [Straight from the man page.]
      - Point your browser of choice at http://localhost:901/ and you should
    be in business.

    For more information you should try "man swat".

    Using SWAT is a good way to get things up and running quickly, and later
    (when you are feeling brave, or after a few cups of coffee ;-) you can
    delve into the mysteries of the smb.conf file and do stuff by hand!
    Although be aware that SWAT rewrites the smb.conf file from scratch when
    you change a setting and do a "commit", so you will loose anything you
    add to the configuration file by hand.

    Hope that helps,
    Dan.

    PS Is this a home or work system? Just curious, we always like to know
    who's using what & where :-)
