and others with user level security. However, you can run a separate Samba server for
each configured IP address on a system.
More information about this subject can be found in the Samba HOWTO Collection.
For multiple servers on one system, pay attention to the options interfaces and
bind interfaces only.

36.4 Configuring Clients

Clients can only access the Samba server via TCP/IP. NetBEUI and NetBIOS via IPX
cannot be used with Samba.
36.4.1 Configuring a Samba Client with YaST
Configure a Samba client to access resources (files or printers) on the Samba server.
Enter the domain or workgroup in the dialog Network Services > Windows Domain
Membership. Click Browse to display all available groups and domains, which can be
selected with the mouse. If you activate Also Use SMB Information for Linux Authenti-
cation, the user authentication runs over the Samba server. After completing all settings,
click Finish to finish the configuration.
36.4.2 Windows 9x and ME
Windows 9x and ME already have built-in support for TCP/IP. However, this is not
installed as the default. To add TCP/IP, go to Control Panel > System and choose Add
> Protocols > TCP/IP from Microsoft. After rebooting your Windows machine, find
the Samba server by double-clicking the desktop icon for the network environment.
TIP
To use a printer on the Samba server, install the standard or Apple-PostScript
printer driver from the corresponding Windows version. It is best to link this
to the Linux printer queue, which accepts Postscript as an input format.
