[TriLUG] RHL9 WindozeXpPro->Samba setup

[Mark]

Hi Tomm-

I'm still working on my Samba PDC so I had to check the shares, but I
seem to be able to access all the shares on my linux box (RH9 & Samba
3.0 rc1)
from an xp pro machine.  Can you provide a snippet of your smb.conf that
shows a shared folder that you can't access, or the whole file?
