Some useful stuff:

  • start samba server:
/etc/init.d/samba start
  • change default config:
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
/etc/init.d/samba restart
  • delete & re-add the knoppix samba user (otherwise it complains about authentication) and create a password:
smbpasswd -x knoppix
smbpasswd -a knoppix
  • test it's working by bringing up a limited shell pointed at the knoppix home dir (use exit to exit):
smbclient -U knoppix //localhost/knoppix
