Topic: accessing windows-partitions

[Locutus]

Hello, out there !

I've just setup my e-smith server in my local network. internet works fine, but i got another problem: I installed e-smith on my server on a primary linux-partition and I have got 3 fat32-drives in the extended-partition. Now I would like to access those windows-partitions from any computer within the LAN (Multi OS.... win98, win2k &XP) How can I do that and how can I set security-options like "who can access which directories on the server"?.


Please help

Greetings, Locutus

Just one question...

Did you create those FAT32 partitions after you got E-Smith installed ?

Hi ! Well, no, I created them before. Actually I figured out how to handle those Info-Bays and it worked out ok. The only prob remaining is I still can't access them from win98. But that's not sooo important and perhaps I'll get it on time.

But thanks for your notice.

Are you saying you have (had?) data in those extended partitions that you now wish to access?  AFAIK e-smith completely wipes out EVERYTHING on the hard disk to which it's installed, partitions & all, and sets up the entire hard disk for its own use.
