Starting Samba

galliar · 11-24-2006, 11:22 PM

Hello,

I have looked in the manual, and searched the web. I can't find any information on starting up Samba. I know how to put an smb.conf file together, but how do you start the two deamons?

Regards,

Randy.

Enable at startup:

Code:

# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.samba

Start manually after making script executable:

Code:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.samba start

After you do chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.samba then when you reboot, it will automatically start after that

Thank you all for the replies. This help greatly. Where did you learn about this stuff. I didn't see it in the manual, can somebody point me to something I can read on the web, or download?

Regards,

Randy.
