config Samba service on Redhat 5

My T60 laptop running out of Harddisk, today plan to config a samba service on my redhat5 linux for storing some files not often used. 

Steps:

1. /etc/init.d/smb start

Starting SMB services:                                     [  OK  ]

Starting NMB services:                                     [  OK  ]

pgrep nmbd

10207

[root@dgswxl init.d]# netstat -tlnp |grep smgb

[root@dgswxl init.d]# netstat -tlnp |grep smb

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:139                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      10203/smbd

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:445                 0.0.0.0:*                   LISTEN      10203/smbd

2. close the firewall if needed.

iptables -F

3. add samba user,

smbpasswd -a wxl

New SMB password:

Retype new SMB password:

Added user wxl.

4. in /etc/smb.conf, add the following,

[wxlsdir]

   comment = wxl's Service

   path = /home/wxl/pcfile

   valid users = wxl

   public = no

   writable = yes

   printable = no

5. Restart the service,

/etc/init.d/smb restart

6. Check the samba status,

smbclient -L localhost -U wxl

omain=[DGSWXL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]

        Sharename       Type      Comment

        ---------       ----      -------

        wxlsdir         Disk      wxl's Service

        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba Server)

        wxl             Disk      Home Directories

Domain=[DGSWXL] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-2]

        Server               Comment

        ---------            -------

        Workgroup            Master

        ---------            -------

        WXL                  DGSWXL

7. Then from the Windows to access the linux by, //{hostip}
