So, to conclude, we've covered how to access and serve SMB shares using the Mac OS X platform. At this point you should be able to go out into the world and share files with all your Windows friends. I've been using Samba for about six months now on my home network. It consists of my iBook, a Windows XP Professional machine, a Debian GNU/Linux box, and a system running Windows 98. It's very convenient to be able to share files across the platforms, allowing me to easily access my files anywhere on my LAN. I hope you can put the power of SMB to use as well.
