Hi,
I have two problems. The setup is two Win98 machines and one running SuSE 9.1 Personal. One of the Win98 machines has a networked Canon printer attached to it. problem 1: trying to print from Linux to the networked printer. From what I have read so far it seems that I need to install the Samba server on the Linux box, in addition to the existing Samba client. However, under YaST I can only find a "Samba Client". Isn't the server included with this distribution? do I need to download it from samba.org? Is it a separate download? problem 2: while I can see and read from my windows shares, and can even overwrite existing files there from the Linux machine, I can not create new files there. I checked the "sharing" menu option on the Win98 machine but can see nothing special to allow or disallow the creation of new files. Access on my shares is defined as "password dependent" (in Win terms). If I change it to "full access" I actually lose some privileges. How to I widen my privileges to include file creation n the share? On the linux side the permission of the mounted share is rwxrwxr-x, but I can not change it from the Linux side. Thanks, Abe. |
