accessing a linux share?

Hey all,

Total newb here. I've just setup a linux box (ubuntu 6.10). I would like to setup a shared folder on my linux box and have my Mac access it with write privileges. I'm running os x 10.4.8.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Bill
 
Experiment with editing the /etc/smb.conf file (on linux), for connecting using the GO > Connect to server menu command.

Near the bottom of all the config files I've seen is an example entry you can try - like this:

# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so
# that two users can place files there that will be owned by the
# specific users. In this setup, the directory should be writable by
# both users and should have the sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse.
# Obviously this could be extended to as many users as required.

; comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff
; path = /usr/somewhere/shared
; valid users = mary fred
; public = no
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; create mask = 0765


Good luck.
