This book got my Samba server up and running in no time. First, I followed every instruction I could find on the internet with no luck. I would always hit some glitch with no answer how to get around it. This book had the answer for every problem I encountered.

Just what you need...not what you don't

I have not had great success with the "For Dummies" series in the past, but this one is well done. It covers all of the most needed setting in the smb.conf file and explains in depth how to use graphical tools to configure it. I got a good bit out of it and now have my windows and Linux network up and running. Good book...recommended for beginners and impatient people like me.
