[plug] SAMBA on Fedora Core 4

[James Drysdale]

Daniel,

Yes that was it!
I had deliberately trying to avoid going into the GUI and work things out in 
the command line only.
Not in a elitist fashion, but to know Linux better.
I feel a little foolish for not finding something this simple myself.

Things are working great, each Windows user has a home drive on the Linux 
box, all is well.

Many thanks for that final piece of advice.

James.
