Windows File Server
This section contains information related to Samba, software that makes
it possible to share files between Linux and Windows systems.


samba
Browsing of Windows shares (also known as SMB browsing) fails on Fedora
Core 3 systems that have the standard firewall configured. This is most
easily noticed in the failure of Nautilus to display shares. The failure
is due to the firewall disrupting the broadcast mode of SMB browsing,
which is Samba's default setting. There are two workarounds:

      * Configure a WINS server on the network, and set the "wins
        server" option in smb.conf to the address of the WINS server.
        
      * Disable the firewall
        
Warning
Depending on your system and network configurations, disabling the
firewall can greatly increase the chance of your system being attacked
and compromised. Make sure you fully understand the risks before
undertaking this step.
