Id like to know how to configure my box so that I can have samba load on system boot.

How to?

A very simple method (there are others): add the command you use to run samba into /etc/rc.d/rc.local .

there are two ways to do.

1 you can use the inted server

2 you can use /etc/rc.d/rc/local

you can also use this command: setup

how can I set it up for the inetd server?

Here's how I do it:

1) If smb is not already in /etc/init.d then copy it there,

2) cd to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d

I usually do an 'ls' to see whats already there, then I use the highest # thats not taken usually 98 or 97

3) ln -s ../init.d/smb S9xsmb

x is the # that's not already taken

This is for RH

Idont have a init.d file within the /etc directory. And if Ido... theres nothing in it. I also don t have the file rc5.d
