Re: SAMBA help.
When you say yours is called ASGARD, does that mean you named your linux
box ASGARD too?
So I have to edit /etc/hosts and the rest to rename my machine? Hmmm...
I like the intranet setup a lot. But I definitely need to learn SAMBA; so
do I have to rename my linux box, edit host files etc? Thanks...
