Samba via Win2000?

[Pecos]

Has anyone ever used Samba to be able to share linux through the Win2000 Network Neighborhood?

I'm able to see the linux box in the network window, but can't access it. I get "An account is not authorized to log in from this station" I dunno why.. anyone?

Well, the problem I had was not being able to share files, but I did see the computer on the network. I just didn't realize at first how I had to add the share protocol to smb.conf, but I got it after a while:

[shared_directory]
comment = Samba Server
path = /usr/local/shared_directory
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
browsable = yes

It was pretty easy after that - everything start working!
