Brendon:
Just in case you didn't find the MandrakeUser site, try this link:
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/index.html#ss
While I don't have any experience with Samba, it is a frequent topic on the
mandrake-newbie mail list, and I've noticed that most of the threads cite
these articles at one point or another. The Mandrake User site is part of the
official Mandrake organization, and is updated frequently. FWIW, I've found
it to be the best single source when man whatever doesn't answer my question.
