FreeBSD Question Answerer- First of all thank you for your help and time. I have a question about running a Samba server where the server is a FreeBSD machine and the client is a Macintosh ibook running max os X. The client would have a wireless PC card connection that runs through the same bridge as the server. Can the client and the server share files and devices with this setup? I was also wondering about how Samba was configured, is it through the /etc/exports file or is it done differently? Also is Samba in the ports packages tree? Also does Samba allow computers to share devices? Could i have a server with a DVD-ROM, and watch DVDs on a client? Also how are shared files stored on a Samba network, does the server store them all and they are all accessible to the clients, or does the machine where the file was made store it and it's accessible to all the clients? Also i was going to RAID together three SCSI harddrives in the server and also have one seperate IDE harddrive. The three SCSIs will store FreeBSD and be the storage for the Samba server, and the IDE will run DOS. Will the FreeBSD boot manager recognize DOS even though it is on another harddrive, or will i have to boot to it manually through the BIOS? Thanks and e-mail me back.
