Dancing the Samba with Windows
Filed in archive Utilities by Rom Feria on July 31, 2007

allows cross-platform file, directory and printer sharing between Windows and most Unix-based/Unix-like operating systems like Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X, among others. For the ordinary user, Samba may be a bit of a chore to configure. By default and very much unlike Windows, Linux requires a username and password to be able to access a shared resource (file, folder or printer) but here's how you can go around it, which I do not really recommend. :) Instead, I recommend that if you are not comfortable tweaking the configuration files, try a GUI-based tool like gsambad.
