FINALLY THE FUN PART - Administrating your Samba!
_______________________________________________________________________________

Now that you've 'read' (Test1.txt) & done the initial testing, and everything 
is A-1 I hope, you can now 'startx' and open 'netscape' and try connecting to 
your SWAT server for the GUI configuration portion of your Samba Server.

Point your browser at: http://localhost:901  

<i.e http://localhost:901 I would give 'linuxkid' as my login name and 
'Unixkid69' as my passwd>. Now it should enter the graphical portion of setup.
TIP: You should really give and run the 'SWAT' smb.conf daemon as 'root', you
will have more options like setting up 'Shares, Printers, etc.'. As a 'user'
you're limited.

If everything went 'OK' *Congrats*, you now have a working Samba Server!.

TIP - VERY IMPORTANT!!!!
------------------------
I recommend VERY STRONGLY changing settings in /etc/smb.conf as I've allowed
'user' access permissions to just about anything. This is however, very easy 
to change. I also zipped a pkg up that has numerous pre-made templates of the
'smb.conf' scripts with all documentation attached. You may want to start off
with one of these pre-made scripts or just look at them for guidance. That's it.

Samba version 3.0.14a documentation
_________________________________

There's some really usefull documentation: with some example 'smb.conf' scripts.
It's not needed, but may prove useful for the 'newbie' Samba Administrator like 
'linuxkid' for example (-; in /usr/doc/samba-3.0.14a/docs/

What you'll find really interesting is in /usr/doc/samba-3.0.14a/Registry, there 
are many different 'smb.conf' scripts to chose from if needed and the excellent 
registry hacks for Win95/98/NT4/Win2K up to WinXP if needed. Enjoy.
