RE: simple cheap NAS ..now.. any SAMBA gurus about?

["UKHA" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is something that I'm working on at the minute as a sort of near-line
backup box, but I want SMB with SWAT, FTP, Firewall and VPN...

However before I get ahead of myself, I'm having trouble setting SAMBA
up...

I've installed an X-less Fedora Core 2, with SAMBA and configured the
smb.conf file, the PC's can see the Linux box and the shares, they each
correctly see only their respective shares + a temp share. However, one of
the PC's keeps asking for the password when I try to open that  PC's share,
the other PC can open it's share but can't copy anything to it (despite the
share being read/write)... Neither can copy anything to the temp share...

I'm guess there may be an error in the .conf, so I've installed SWAT and
added it to the services file. When I run SWAT it just sits there and
doesn't return to the prompt, is this normal?
Even then, I can't get into the SWAT web page (even in demo mode) from
either PC, I reinstalled it with a firewall and it does the same thing...

Any clues?

If you have a spare PC which can take some drives then try this:
