While you're right about me not needing to mess with more than one domain (I'm 
having enough trouble with just one :-),  perhaps this would be a workable
approach to dealing with some of the stuff I'm running into at this point. 
It's the configuration utilities,  as you say,  that are giving me a hard
time.

Basically I got a fair amount of functionality at this point.  But I can't
seem to be able to get some things working.  I couldn't write to one of the
shares,  turned out I had to fiddle with permissions on the Linux box.

I ended up moving a whole mess of the bbs files over there,  and can't get the 
share that I stuck in smb.conf to let me hook into those files from the OS/2
end of things.  The "sharing and connecting" utility will,  when I tell it I
want to "create a new share",  show me that machine and the shares that I have 
defined,  as well as a bunch of otherwise unused drive letters.  But it
complains when I select the new one and an unused letter,  complaining that it 
can't find the resource,  or something to that effect.  I did do help on that
particular error,  but can't recall what it was offhand.  SYS???? something or 
other...

Would perhaps manually editing the configs be a way past this?  What files are 
we talking about here,  and where are they generally located?
