smb.conf regenerate

Hi, I dont know what I made to the smb.conf, it requires password even though i set the security to share. So I decided to delete it and reinstall:

Code:

apt-get --purge remove samba

apt-get install samba

but after i installed samba, i cant find a newly generated samba file, I remembered the first time i installed, it poped up a window for me to enter configurations which does not pop up this time.
I tried to use the help and commands, but it does not generate files:

Code:





Usage: smbd [-?DiFSbV] [-?|--help] [--usage] [-D|--daemon]

        [-i|--interactive] [-F|--foreground] [--no-process-group]

sh-3.1# /usr/sbin/smbd -s /etc/smb.conf

Thanks

Hello,

Try:

Code:

dpkg-reconfigure samba

as root (or with sudo as user). See if that gets you what you need.

Kind regards,

Eric

Should be located in either /etc/samba/smb.conf or /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf

Here is a sample config file for reference:

solved, have to remove the samba common package as well:

sudo apt-get remove samba samba-common --purge
