Samba Server for Suse 9.1 / creating files on a window share

Hi,

I have two problems. The setup is two Win98 machines and one running
SuSE 9.1 Personal. One of the Win98 machines has a networked Canon
printer attached to it.

problem 1: trying to print from Linux to the networked printer. From
what I have read so far it seems that I need to install the Samba
server on the Linux box, in addition to the existing Samba client.
However, under YaST I can only find a "Samba Client". Isn't the server
included with this distribution? do I need to download it from
samba.org? Is it a separate download?

problem 2: while I can see and read from my windows shares, and can
even overwrite existing files there from the Linux machine, I can not
create new files there. I checked the "sharing" menu option on the
Win98 machine but can see nothing special to allow or disallow the
creation of new files. Access on my shares is defined as "password
dependent" (in Win terms). If I change it to "full access" I actually
lose some privileges. How to I widen my privileges to include file
creation n the share? On the linux side the permission of the mounted
share is rwxrwxr-x, but I can not change it from the Linux side.


Thanks,

Abe.
