In the docs i have read so far, there are several questions I have and I am not sure which question I am getting wrong when trying to install and configure my Red Hat 8 server.
1)in the http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf document they say you should run "$ nroff ?man smbd.8 | more" to get the man pages. "nroff" is not supported on my system; however, i was able to get some man pages of some different sorts. 2) Do i need to build the binaries in Red Hat 8.0 ? Red Hat 8 has lots of things pre-done; I am not sure if this is one of them. The command "root# ./configure --help" does not work for me. What should I be typing? 3) these command also don't work and I don't know why: a) root# make b) root# makeinstallbin c) root# make installman d) root# make revert 4) It says to "Create the smb configuration file." However, smb.conf already exists. Is this just a sample file or should i change it contents to reflect my needs? 5) They said in this document that thie following would be the simplest smb.conf file; but is it really complete? "[global] workgroup = MYGROUP [homes] guest ok = no read only = no" 6) How do you crate a share on a Red Hat 8.0 server? 7) How do you mount the share also? I apologize for this email being so long. Any help with any of the questions would be greatly appreciated.
