I've been up and donwn this forum but I can't find a way that works. I'm trying to install the samaba service (deamons smb and nmbd) I've also went to the book store to find a book on samba and it told me to type this at the command line "rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/redhat/rpms/samba*" and that not working also I don't know what cd to use with that command. the command just says nothing not even an error. Can some one help me ...

Thanks in adv ...

Where is the samba file through all the cds i have ver 7.3 RH

I use to run Red Hat 7.3; as I recall, samba was installed by default. Use the chkconfig command to see if your smb daemons are on or off (type 'chkconfig --list | grep smb' or just 'chkconfig --list').

chkconfig is specific to the Red Hat and Mandrake (and SuSE too?). You can use this command to turn services on and off. I can't remember the options for it, so type 'man chkconfig' for more explanation.

I have don it with no help at all cause I'm a computer genius.... ha ha ha only one problem I'm not making a 6 figure salary .... uh ... uh ... well any ways I did it me me me. I did it and no one can take credit for it but ... me ha. Well I have to give a shout out to all the peon Holla back.
na just kidding you know ya my peps

Only one problem know. Am I sure its installed I run the chkdsk --list cmd and it shows the smb service the also says "0ff,1ff,2ff,3ff,4ff,5ff and 6ff" right beside it in colums. also I can't find "nmbd service" when I run the same cmd.

But one thing though it says the service is running I think when I type "service smb restart", it say ok in green righg beside it.

is ther a way I can list my shares on the linux box
