When a ubuntu host is added to the Windows Working Group, the following formula is used: sudo gedit/etc/samba/smb. conf: replace XXX in workgroup = XXX with the actual working group name. The default value is workgroup = WORKGROUP. Add a line of netbios name = xxx below to set the name displayed by the computer in the working group. If not set, the host name is used as the netbios name by default. Run sudo/etc/init. d/samba restart to restart the Service After configuring www.2cto.com. Note: The above settings are used to enable the samba service for the Ubuntu host to be visible to the network neighbor. The system does not enable the Service by default. Install samba at www.2cto.com: sudo apt-get install sambasudo apt-get install smbfs graphical interface for installing and configuring samba: sudo apt-get install system-config-samba to start the samba service: sudo/etc/init. d/samba start
