Question smbd and nmbd missing


Hi all.

I have recently been looking at getting a RedHat 8.0 server set up with Samba. Having never used Linux before it has been a bit of a trial, but I'm at the stage where I'm starting to understand it better. The most recent problem I've come across is in installing Samba. I have been following the guide at http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/...unofficial.txt and it has worked so far until it tells you to start the daemons. I don't seem to have the smbd or nmbd files! I have tried reinstalling Samba and they are still not there. I have even run a search from Gnome and they don't appear to be on the system at all.
Would there be any reason that these files are missing, or is there another way that I need to start Samba running? It's getting frustrating, because I think I'm at the stage where I've got everything else set up and I just can't start the thing!!

Thanks in advance for any help or advice,

PhilHalf

use this command

service smb start

to set it up in init.d scripts you may need to do this

chkconfig smb on
