smb service doesn't exist

According to the documents I have seen to get samba up and running I just have to install it which I did

[root@CLM samba]# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-common-3.6.3-78.fc16.x86_64
samba-winbind-clients-3.6.3-78.fc16.x86_64
samba-client-3.6.3-78.fc16.x86_64
samba-3.6.3-78.fc16.x86_64

but the service doesn't seem to exist
_____________________________________________
[root@CLM samba]# chkconfig smb --list

Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
systemd configuration.

and my config file seems to be missing
_____________________________________________
[root@CLM samba]# pwd
/etc/samba
[root@CLM samba]# ls
smbusers

any ideas?

Install samba and related packages:

Code:

$ su -c 'yum -y install samba samba-common samba-client'

If you are using Fedora 16 & 15 try:

Code:

$ su -c 'systemctl start smb.service'

$ su -c 'systemctl enable smb.service'

For Fedora 14 and before:

Code:

$ su -c '/etc/init.d/smb start'

$ su -c 'chkconfig smb on'

The configuration file is /etc/samba/smb.conf and it should be replaced when reinstalled. If not there might be a copy availalbe online or in the samba-doc package available through yum.

I hope this helps you out.

These are now controlled by systemd instead of system V. Look for samba with something like:

Code:

# systemctl list-units --all |grep smb

This should show you something like:

Quote:

smb.service loaded active running Samba SMB Daemon

if its not started you can start it with your old service command but under systemd you can use something like:

Code:

# systemctl enable smb.service

# systemctl start smb.service

The enable command move the smb service file into the correct spot (like chkconfig <service> on use to) and start then starts it up. To see the status you can run:

Code:

# systemctl status smb.service
