Welcome to the forums Aydel!

I think you're making it more complicated that it needs to be, should be as simple as:

and then edit smb.conf as needed.

Dear snowpine,

how to edit samba.rpm to samba.conf?

thanks,
hopefully you already give solusion..., many thanks snowpine... hehhe

The complete step-by-step instructions are:

i have try edit smb.conf with comand vi smb.conf, but the result like below,

"smb.conf" [New File]


so i can't do any thing.

please help...

hehe

many thanks

The full filename is /etc/smb.conf

Have you done 'yum install samba' yet?

thanks very much snowpine,
i have try /etc/snm.conf
[root@aydel ~]# /etc/smb.conf
-bash: /etc/smb.conf: No such file or directory
[root@aydel ~]#

this is result rpm -qa|grep samba

[root@aydel ~]# rpm -qa|grep samba
samba-winbind-clients-3.5.6-86.el6.i686
samba-client-3.5.6-86.el6.i686
samba-common-3.5.6-86.el6.i686
[root@aydel ~]#

i have done download samba but i cant install,

[root@aydel Downloads]#

whta kind of samba can i install? so i can find download

Stop trying to download samba separately, and just follow the command given to you three times already:
That's it.

Not "yum install /home/aydel/Downloads/samba-3.6.7.tar.gz", not "yum install samba-3.5.6-86.el6.src.rpm"...just "yum install samba". You're making this WAY more complicated than it needs to be.

This is not Windows. YUM is a full package management system, not a package installer. When you ask it for "samba" it will go out to its repository on the web, download the correct version for your system, and install it. You should not be going out to the web and downloading some random version which may or may not be compatible with the rest of the packages on your system.

Dear snowpine,

thank you very much for your kind heart to help me,
i hope you not bored ask my question.., hehe

i have try install samba by code yum install samba, but result as below,

[root@aydel ~]# yum install samba
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
Setting up Install Process
No package samba available.

thanks for attention,

What's the output of
You do have a PAID subscription for your redhat installation right?

[root@aydel ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: product-id, refresh-packagekit, subscription-manager
Updating Red Hat repositories.
repolist: 0
[root@aydel ~]#


no I dont have a PAID subscription for redhat installation?
so will i retry install redhat again?

RHEL is not to be used without a paid subscription, it's basically useless without one. If you don't plan to pay the $xxx subscription fee then you need to switch to a free derivative, such as Scientific Linux or CentOS.

does anyone for free if I want to try redhat for a while?
i'm very interest to learn linux, but i dont have ISO like Contos if i change my computer system.

and how to get subscription redhat?
i live in indonesia, can you give me information?

You can switch to CentOS on the fly by following these directions:

thanks snowpine,

i will try to find,
and dont bored ask my question if next time i have problem..
thanks,

sweet regards,

aydel
