[wplug] Network Linux box w/Windows boxes??

[Matthew Wright]

Install SAMBA.  Edit the /etc/smb.conf file.  Change the workgroup to
match that of windows.  Change encrypt passwords to yes (remove the ";"
from the beginning of the line also) and set smb passwd file =
/etc/smbpasswd.  Start samba (/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart)

set the users passwords which will be the names of the PC they are on.
Do a "smbpasswd -a XXXX PPPPP

where XXXX is the user and PPPPP is their password.

All that is left is the shares....
