Hi everybody,

Just got my Pogoplug v2 and hooked up two 1TB external drives. Installation went smooth and everything is up and running. However there isn't any SMB support out-of-the-box as far as I could tell, so after some googling I decided to install OpenPogo (following this tutorial). Then I installed the Samba packet (following this tutorial)... I'm very happy everything went well right away considering the fact I'm a total n00b and have no idea whatsoever how Linux works!!!

Here's the thing: I know Samba is running, but the shares don't show up on my MacBook (running Mac OS X 10.6.4) or on my mediaplayer (HDI Dune Base 3.0). Both devices are capable of 'seeing' SMB shares. After some googling and reading I realized that my Samba config is still set to on the default settings. And now I'm asking you guys for help!

I want to configure my Samba so that all my machines can 'see' the SMB shares, but I don't know how to do that. Is someone willing to help me configure the config file?

Thx in advance!

*Update* I finally got the SMB shares working, but I was wondering how I can add multiple share paths. This is my current config:

[global]

workgroup = WANZI_NETWORK

server string = Pogoplug Samba2 Server

hosts allow = 10.0.1. 127.

null passwords = yes

guest account = root

log file = /opt/var/log/samba/log.%m

max log size = 50

security = share

encrypt passwords = yes

smb passwd file = /opt/etc/samba/smbpasswd

dns proxy = no

preserve case = yes


[ShareAll]

comment = Test share

path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb2

available = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

printable = no

create mask = 0777

guest ok = yes

browseable = yes

I've succesfully created a path to one of my external drives (mnt_sdb2), but I also want to create a path to my other external drive. How do I add a share path?
