Create new share with SSH

Hi,

Does anybody know how to create a share using SSH?

I tried creating a directory /c/test and linking it like the other shares there e.g. ln -s test /c/test and chown'ing and chgrp'ing it, but when I try and access it from an XP machine, I get a system error 53 The network path was not found error.

Any ideas?

    Why do you want to create a share this way?

    The only supported way to create a share is via Frontview.

    You'll have to edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf to add your share
