-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Hebert Sent: Friday, September 14, 2001 4:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [brluglist] RedHat 7.1 mail and network help Though you didn't address this to me directly, I wanted to reply and help out. Hang in there, chief. You'll make it. We'll try to help you as much as we can. I imagine the reason why you don't have any scripts in /etc/xinetd.d is because the tar.gz files you compiled don't make those scripts, whereas the RPM versions do. The tar.gz files are simply the source code for the applications, and the RPM versions are the compiled, binary, versions of those applications, along with the /etc/xinetd.d scripts, which are also put in the correct place. Either you can read through the README or INSTALL text files that came with the Samba install, or you can download the RPM files. I recommend that you try to install the RPM files until you get used to Linux. Think of RPM files as the "self-installing" versions of software, and tar.gz files as the "do-it-yourself" versions.
