i have 2 systems, one is windows W, and one is unix U. so in my unix
system, smb.conf, i have listed the important information that is
needed to communicate between the windows and unix system. basically,
i am on sap and wanted to share /usr/sap/trans.

workgroup = how can i identify this in my windows with my unix entry?
hosts allow =
guest account =
password server = this entry will be the same as the above hosts allow
interfaces = these are the network cards defined in my unix which will
be used for communication
[sapmnt]
  path = unix path to share between windows and unix?.. where is the
windows defined?
  other list of parameters

basically, the above is needed for my unix smb.conf.
how about tings on the windows side?

thanks
