[NMLUG] Couple of samba questions.
I've tried logging on to winxp using both guest and administrator from samba.
I don't think it's a problem with the winxp boxes because I am able to
access shares on the winxp box from another winxp box. I just can't access
the share on the winxp box from samba or win9x.
The text editing is to edit some ini type files on all the win boxes to
reflect a server move that is coming up in a few weeks. I need to change all
occurences of one IP address to another in all occurences of a config file on
every win box. I can either script it if possible or walk around to each
machine, locate the files, and hand edit with notepad.
Thanks for the help.
