Thanks I was just going to ask if there was some way of filtering out the hidden files so they wouldn't be presented to the Xp users. -Original Message- From: P Kapat [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: April 26, 2007 2:33 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: Newbie Samba

You are asked to setup a non-root user as part of the NetInst. This is the User that I setup. Yes, as Dave said, you have to use smbpaswd as root to add new users which can access samba. Then you have to setup your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to define shares, which are portions of your filesystem

I just installed the latest OS using a NetInst CD and during the install I checked the boxes for "File Server" and "Print Server" and I have been to HYPERLINK "http://localhost:901"Http://localhost:901 to verify that Samba is up and running.   I can "see" the Debian server from my Win XP machines,
