[ale] Samba tricks?

[Greg]

Hello, Robert;

	I am not sure I understand.  My samba at home is a Windows NT PDC that
Windows 95,Windows 96, Windows NT 4.0 & Windows 2000 Pro see and understand.
In printing you can have the Windows client use a common driver on a box,
but SAMBA does not "push" content as afaik.  There is no need for drivers
for SAMBA use, either - just a TCP/IP connection.  The samba.conf file tells
SAMBA how to use the file structure - who and what can access stuff and in
what manner.  You do your file structure however you want (i.e. /MP3s,
/Wife_share, etc ...)  or you can have a directory called Win_drivers and
put your drivers there.  Make it accessible to all and then everyone can get
drivers from that directory.  Is this what you are talking about ?

hope this helps

Greg
