Hey,
Just want to thank everyone for their help.
The problem has been solved! The solution was giving up on Red Hat and
went to Debian. Edited the smb.conf file a little, to remove some
password things, and up it came, no problem. Well at least I am able to
see and write to my home directory on debian.
There still is going to be some more setup I have to do, but for now at
least I am satisfied that I can get samba to work.
I want to also thank the Tampa group for giving me suggestions as to
which version to go with. It seemed like it was pretty much a toss up
though. But it seemed like it was between Suse, Fedora and Debian. So I
tossed a coin and went with Debian.
Thanks again,
David
