Thank you. But I have read that. I even read the German version to see if that made more sense. It is not what I am looking for. On the second line it states: "CAUTION: The complete filesystem of Knoppix will be shared". The German version adds to that: "Das ist also nur für eine Rettung geeignet, da jeder im Netzwerk auf die Dateien Zugriff hat". Please see my original post. I have already managed to share my entire filesystem (without any shell-commands). But what I want is to share only certain directories. Sort of like how sharing in Windows or MacOS works.

Now I could be missing something here, but as far as I know Samba stands for "Server Message Block" also known as NetBIOS; it is used to share files between Linux and Windows systems. That is what I conclude from the man-pages _and_ from the above mentioned FAQ anyway.

But if it can be used for my purposes I guess I will need more directions.
