Samba Help... NEWBIE!
I posted a question in the Newbie (day 2 with linux) section, got one response, but I didn't fully "get it". I used search, but I am to ignorant to understand the answers.
Anyway, maybe someone over here can take a look and give me some feedback. Also, if anyone could point me in the right direction with regard to how to find and setup stuff like samba via a text editor (where are these files located and how can I learn all the config commands?). The GUI setup via Mandrakelinux Control Center works OK, but doesn't include much help and seems very limited with regard to tweeking things. Plus it seems to be a crutch for me.... Anyway... Thank you so very much for your help! Cheers! Link to my question in the newbie area :newbie: |
most of your configuration files will be found in /etc. smb.conf in particular is in /etc/samba.
concerning the cli, have a look here for commands and meanings. http://linux-newbie.sunsite.dk/lnag_commands.html also from a terminal type man name of command it will return the manual page for the specified command. good luck. |
Thank you!
Thank you that helps!

make sure your linux users have write access to the directory that you mounted the share in ;)

Quite often, swat will be run from inetd - check your /etc/inetd.conf file for an commented-out line, and uncomment it [making sure that it points to the right location for swat].
Then restart inetd, and go to http://localhost:901/ |
