Help sharing entire drive directory with Samba + Knoppix 5.0

[mr-roboto]

Thanks Rusty.

I'm personally trying to be able to share the drive with 40 XP PC's via the network neighborhood - any idea on why nfts mounted drives would time out as they are doing?

I haven't tried to fix this, as my networked PCs are inches apart in the same room, but if you're having NTFS timeout probs it's probably bec the default Samba config is setup to mount/unmount the shares periodically. You'll be able to follow this if you start the System Log from the Knoppix->Services menu (I did that from memory, using Windows rite now.) Anyway, you can change that behavior by modifying the SMB.CONF template used by the Samba server script. I simply don't know the precise combination of SMB.CONF options....Jet
