- <para>This simple tool<footnote><para>You can start this tool from the command line, by typing <emphasis role="bold">diskdrake --fileshare</emphasis> as root.</para></footnote> allows you, the administrator, to allow users to
- share parts of their own /home subdirectories with other users of a same
- local network which may have computers running either Linux or Windows
- operating system.</para>
-
- <para>It is found in the Mageia Control Center, under the Local Disk tab,
- labelled "Share your hard disk partitions".</para>
-
- <para>First, answer the question : "<guilabel>Would you like to allow users
- to share some of their directories ?</guilabel>", click on <guibutton>No
- sharing</guibutton> if the answer is no for all users, click on
- <guibutton>Allow all users</guibutton> for all users and click on
- <guibutton>Custom</guibutton> if the answer is no for some users and yes for
- the others. In this last case, the users that are authorised to share their
- directories must belong to the fileshare group, which is automatically
- created by the system. You will be asked about this later.</para>
-
- <para>Click on <guilabel>OK</guilabel>, a second screen appears which asks
- you choose between <guibutton>NFS</guibutton> or <guibutton>SMB</guibutton>.
- Check <guibutton>NFS</guibutton> if Linux is the only operating system on
- the network, check <guibutton>SMB</guibutton> if the network includes both
- Linux and Windows machines and then click on <guibutton>OK</guibutton>. Any
- required packages will be installed if necessary.</para>
-
- <para>The configuration is now complete unless the Custom option was chosen.
- In this case, an extra screen prompts you to open Userdrake. This tool
- allows you to add users authorised to share their directories to the
- fileshare group. In the User tab, click on the user to add to the fileshare
- group, then on <guimenuitem>Edit</guimenuitem>, In the Groups tab. Check the
- fileshare group and click on <guibutton>OK</guibutton>. For more information
- about Userdrake, see <xref linkend="userdrake">this page</xref></para>

-
- <note>
- <para>When adding a new user to the fileshare group, you have to
- disconnect and reconnect the network for the modifications to be taken
- into account.</para>
- </note>
-
- <para>From now on each user belonging to the fileshare group can select in
- his/her file manager the directories to be shared, although not all file
- managers have this facility.</para>
