    sharing external drive

    Hi,
    I have an external USB hard drive (FAT format) connected to my Kubuntu Feisty box and I'd like to share it on my wireless network via samba (or other suggested method?) so i can read/write access it from my macbook (or any other mac/windows comp on my network) and continue to use it as normal from my Kubuntu box. I'm kinda familiar with samba config for sharing home folders but not sure how to add this drive.....pls help
    cheers

    Re: sharing external drive

    Following the way I'm sharing a part of a partition of one of my usb disks:

    Code:
    USER # ls -l /media/data [in excerpts]
    
    drwxr-xr-x birdy birdy Buffer
    
    USER # more /etc/samba/smb.conf [ditto]
    
    [global]
    interfaces = eth0
    workgroup = FAMILY
    unix charset = UTF-8
    security = user
    map to guest = bad user
    guest account = nobody
    
    [Buffer]
    path = /media/data/Buffer
    browseable = yes
    writeable = yes
    wide links = no
    username = birdy
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
