i. To create the share, add the following:
[SHARE_NAME]
path = /home/user/shared
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no (since you want to share files, not a printer)
j. Save this file and create a backup copy to protect these changes when you
upgrade GSX Server.
3. Restart the Samba services to load the new settings.
If GSX Server is running on the Linux host system, suspend or shut down all
running virtual machines and close all GSX Server console windows.
On the Linux host operating system, at a command prompt, type
/etc/init.d/vmware restart
On some Linux distributions, the command is
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware restart
Connect to the virtual machine with a console and run the Windows guest
operating system from which you want to connect to the Linux host. The user ID
you use to log on to the Windows guest must be in the Linux host’s
smbpasswd file. If you use the same user name and password to log on to the
guest as you do on the Linux host, then you are not prompted to log on when
you browse the Linux host.
If you are connecting to the Linux system from a Windows Me, Windows 98 or
Windows 95 guest operating system, NetBEUI must be installed in the guest
operating system before you can browse the file system. If you need to install
NetBEUI, you may need your Windows installation CD-ROM.
When the system restarts, the Samba service does not appear in the list of
services starting up, but it does start, unless an error appears.
