> Oh, and I have set up Samba to load automatically when Linux is started. The best way is to use the startup scripts provided for each daemon with adjusting the files in rc[0-6].d to properly start and stop these daemons as you change run levels (start and stop the machine, etc.) To start any daemon automatically with the startup scripts, you have to mess around either with some GUI configuration tool (settings), or the files in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-6].d. If all else fails, just put these commands in rc.local /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D To find the files, locate rc.local and which smbd and which nmbd might help. Note that the startup scripts have beome increasingly complex over the last few years. Even for someone who knows some bash they are very difficult to follow, since each vendor does things suprisingly different. This home brew script does a fine job for me: #!/bin/bash case "$1" in start) killall smbd killall nmbd /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ;; stop) killall smbd killall nmbd ;; reload) kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid` kill -SIGHUP `cat /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid` ;; *) echo Usage: echo start stop reload ;; esac exit 0 Joel -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
