Just to get things going quickly, you might like to try using the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT).
To get this up and running do the following:
- Assuming you have the SWAT binaries on your system, either pre-built or made from sources.
- Check that your /etc/services file has a line like:
swat 901/tcp
if not, add it.
- Add the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat
The full path being the one appropriate to where you installed SWAT.
- One you have edited /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf you need to send a HUP signal to inetd. To do this use kill -1 PID where PID is the process ID of the inetd daemon. [Straight from the man page.]
- Point your browser of choice at http://localhost:901/ and you should be in business.
For more information you should try "man swat".
Using SWAT is a good way to get things up and running quickly, and later (when you are feeling brave, or after a few cups of coffee ;-) you can delve into the mysteries of the smb.conf file and do stuff by hand! Although be aware that SWAT rewrites the smb.conf file from scratch when you change a setting and do a "commit", so you will loose anything you add to the configuration file by hand.
Hope that helps,
Dan.
PS Is this a home or work system? Just curious, we always like to know who's using what & where :-)
