i've got potato and did "apt-get install samba" and it installed, no problem. executing was the problem. it started making tcpd clone itself (very slowly -- five in one day) while eating up 98% of all cpu attention. luckily "apt-get --purge remove samba-common" worked pretty well, too. so my windows users still get to use ftp until i understand (which is unlikely, as i don't speak the brogue that the samba docs are written in). -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #1 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to use your Debian machine as a FIREWALL? No problem! Try "apt-get install ipmasq"... After you've got your /etc/network/interfaces file set up properly, ipmasq will save you lots of work, setting up firewall and routing tables automatically.
