Hi All,

Im new to linux...im trying configure samba.

First i do yum install -y samba

It was success.

[root@pubudu ~]# rpm -qa samba
samba-3.6.3-78.fc16.i686

after that i tried to start the service,and i got this message

[root@pubudu ~]# service smb start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start smb.service


what is this?

It should be something like this

service smb start
Starting SMB services: [ OK ]

but instead i got

[root@pubudu ~]# service smb start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start smb.service

Any please help me?

Try:

/sbin/service smb restart

Also here's some Samba documentation.

Linkage

The message just means that you are using systemd. You can enter "systemctl status smb.service" to verify the service is running.

Thanks This worked
