But beyond that step, I have done nothing to my Red Hat 8 system as far as further SAMBA installation. Did SAMBA get installed during the installation? When i look through my system, I see files that relate to smb which leads me to believe it is installed. Someone had mentioned the command "inetd" and "SWAT", but these too were confusing b/c inetd does not exist on Red Hat 8. It has been replaced with xinetd. What would the command be then to open SWAT? ./configure and make u only need for the source package... the only thing u have to do is to configure smb.conf and start samba... ('service samba start' or 'service smb start') THANKS! but how do i create the hare and the mount points? try man smb.conf for options... THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. I TRULY APPRECIATE THIS COMMUNITY.
