Ubuntu 9.10 Folder Sharing Problems [Samba] Linux


By default the samba services are not installed in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. Even after installing the services, the sharing options don't get enabled. Below given are the commands to play around to enable the samba sharing options.

configuring samba -

Open terminal and type the following commands.

sudo cp /usr/bin/testparm.samba3 /usr/bin/testparm

sudo cp /usr/bin/net.samba3 /usr/bin/net

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/testparm /usr/bin/net

thats it....!

now you can share the folder and access it in windows xp / windows 7
