Once Again about file sharing.
Samba is free software which re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, that is developed by Adrew Tridgell. With samba, it will enable us to sharing file among some operating system based on Unix / Linux, Windows, everthan MacOS.

How to configure samba in Linux?
You must have samba software in your Tux. By default, it will be installed automatically at fisrt time. Ensure samba was installed and then do this:
(In this case, we will share folder with samba)

Edit Configuration of samba
$ sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

[Guest Share]
      comment = share to all
      path = /path/directory
      browseable = yes
      writeable = yes
      read only = yes
      guest ok = yes
      encrypt password = yes
      smbpasswd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
      hosts allow = 192.168.19.0/255.255.255.0

Restart service of samba
$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Check your samba sharing!
$ testparm

For complete setting, check this out!

[global]

workgroup = MSHOME
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
dns proxy = no
interfaces = lo eth0
bind interfaces only = true
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = share
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .

[Media]
comment = Full Access Media Share
path = /media/Media
browseable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes

If you want to certain user can open the sharing folder, you must add your user to user samba.
$ sudo smbpasswd -a 

and in the configuration, add this:
        users valid =

|OPEN SUSE|

In this time, I will review Open suse again. Do you know sax? The function of sax is similar with yast. Deferences between yast and sax is only on the spesific of setting. In sax, we only can set monitor, mouse, keyboard, tablet, and touch screen.

Why do we use Sax?
We use sax if the yast manager is not function well. The example is when your desktop open suse is looked big (resolution 800x600) and you can't set it bigger become 1024 x 768 resolution. This is the function of sax.

Using sax
In terminal, you can type
$ sudo sax2
and lets the application run.

Setting VGA Card
To setCard and monitor properties, you should use sax2 under shell via init 3 and below su.
In terminal (SU), type
$ sudo init 3
$ sax2
and the same thing, lets the application run.

|OPENSUSE|

First time I used Opensuse, I fell very guilty because I don't familiar with it. Once upon when my friend asked to me "Where is the task manager of OpenSuse?"
Ofcourse I don't know the answer. Shaming don't hear him, is the best answer.. Hahahaha...

After that, I try to search it in the forum. Do you know the answer?
Yes, you only push CTRL and ESC key together.

Another tip: To search file or folder, you can push CTRL and F2 key together.
