Actually, there are lots of "recipes". There are a lot of howto's on various subjects. HowTo is always in the title, so, whenever I do something "new" in Linux (that I have not done before), I google for the howto. In your case, Google "Howto Samba" http://www.google.ca/search?num=100&hl=en&q=Howto+Samba&btnG=Search&meta= In addition, Google does "speciality searches. When looking for things Linux related, use Google's linux portal: http://www.google.com/linux -- e.g.-- http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=Howto+Samba&btnG=Search The linux speciality site is very useful gus John Ferrell wrote: > Thanks for the pointer.
