Can anyone out there tell me how to configure samba on the freebsd 2.1 and
how to configure dos (not wfw nor w95, just wc-dog) clients to map a drive
(e.g. J:) to an exported dir on the unix?
Actually my smb.conf is this:

--------
[Global]
   config file = /usr/local/samba/smb.conf.%m
   status = yes
   security = share
   server string = Core (%v,%h)
   load printers = yes
   log level = 1
   log file = /var/log/samba.log
;   hosts allow = 194.135.250.0/255.255.255.0 localhost 
   auto services = homes printers tmp server
   read prediction = yes
   valid chars = ö:Ö å:Å ä:Ä 
   share modes = yes
   locking = yes
   strict locking = yes
   keepalive = 30
   passwd program = /sbin/passwd %u
   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   getwd cache = yes
   printing = 1

[homes]
	comment = This is your home dir
	writable = yes
	browseable = no

[printers]
	printable = yes
	writable = no
	path = /tmp
	guest ok = yes
	print ok = yes 
	browseable = no

[tmp]
	comment = Clearing each night
	writable = yes
	public=true	
	path=/tmp
	browseable = yes

[server] 
	comment = Our online archive
	writable = yes
	public=true	
	path=/usr/export
	browseable = yes

--------

 How do I launch the smbd? At present I do it by hand issuing a
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -s /usr/local/samba/smb.conf

 the major problem is the configuration of the clients: I do not know where
to start from, which packages do I need, how to configure them. Some people
gave me general guidelines, but as I'm starting from scatch practical
exapmles are welcome as well! :-)

Thanks guys!

Ciao!
