samba server installation
 

Hi!

I am trying to install samba server i have installed Red hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)
Kernal version is 2.6.18-53.el5

can you give me the steps and codes to install

thank you

Not really, Samba can be configured in so many different ways depending on what you want to acheive. You need to refer to the Samba documentation for detailed information. The server itself will already be installed in a defaault RHEL5 install, so /etc/samba/smb.conf should be ready for you to modify.

do you want just a basic samba install or do you want a samba/ldap installation? There are plenty of tutorials around for setting up samba. I did notice a couple of years ago there was very little info on setting up samba with ldap on a RHEL server (none that we could get to work), so as we set up a server we made a crude howto. Some of the folks here may know more about it and be able to point out unnecessary steps or ways to improve on it, but if you're looking to set samba up with ldap it will work. You can find it at http://clark-technet.com/linux-guides
