Configuring Samba

alexr186 · 10-03-2005, 11:04 AM

I have a suse server I am setting up.

It is athlon xp 3000 with 512mb of ram. Setting it up as a windows file server using Samba. I am using Suse 9.1 Pro

I turn samba on with no trouble. But when I use Webadmin to configure the users. I get an error that says it can not read samba.

I have done all the updates for the computer.

Does any know a solution to his error or another program I can use to configure the users for samba.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex,

SWAT is a web-based admin tool you can use to configure samba. I'm not sure if SWAT is compatible with SUSE as I haven't played around with SUSE much, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Another way to configure SAMBA is by editing the "smb.conf" file by using a text editor.

(smb.conf is found under /etc/samba on my distribution, but it may be different for SUSE).

Also, try looking through the WIKI on this site, it has at least one article that I know of different aspects of configuring SAMBA.

Cheers.
