Andy,

The Firewall topic sounds great. First off, I am a newbie (been toying around with Linux for the last year and a half off and on), and want to increase my Linux knowledge. I have been successful in setting up Linux as a web server, and as an FTP server. The one thing I have been unable to get working is Samba file and print services. I would love to have someone show me the proper way to get this up and running. I am currently using RH7 (for the server), and Win98SE for the client machine. I would be willing to bring those machines, as well as a small hub for us to work on. This is a feature of Linux that I really want to use.

Thanks for your time.

Tom Carey
