Thanks for the help and advice on using the rpm's. The install was a successful one and I'm on my way. Glad this lists exists and that there are generally nice people on it who don't mind helping the newbies.

No worries... installing RPMs is SUPER simple. You'll be happier going this route: Stop samba and delete the dir (I believe /usr/local/samba). Then install the RPM's in this order thusly: #> rpm -ivh samba-common-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm #> rpm -ivh samba-server-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm #> rpm -ivh samba-swat-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm You shouldn't need the samba-client, since you won't be conecting that server to any other samba server. After install, run "/etc/init.d/smb start". the smb.conf file is located in /etc/samba. NOTE: once you edit the smb.conf file, you need to restart samba: "/etc/init.d/smb restart". email me if you have any problems. :-) Tori ----- Original Message ----- From: "marvc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Tori Williamson'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "'Sameer Zeidat'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 5:35 PM Subject: RE: [Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3... > I'll try the samba rpm's.
