Help With Webmin Samba
#1
hi i need some help does someone know an easy to follow guide to setting up samba shares through webmin i am using ubuntu and lubuntu and trying to access the shares on my windows 8 pc

i am new to linux so not sure what settings to use i install webmin as i heard it was easy to setup shares over a web browser so i don't have to physically sit at the machine to do it


also i wasn't sure if i should use guest access with read and write permissions as i am not sure how safe it is although it is only on my home network and is so xbmc can access my media files so i assume i shouldn't be an issue

i tried using ubuntu server with webmin but i spent hours trying and could not get it to share anything so decided to try the desktop versions and went with lubuntu as it is supposed to be the lights gui
