Danno13 · 10-22-2003, 06:19 AM

Does anyone know of a good GUI for samba so i can set up a domain for windows computers to access my network and share files, printers and an internet connection.

Thanks

Cheers, do you have a URL? Have you used SWAT before is it fairly easy to setup? i've never used Linux before!

Checkout freshmeat for SMB4K

nice.. ;-)

Can you get a ready compiled version anywhere as i have never used linux command lines before and don't want to mess up anything trying to compile it myself.

check http://samba.kn.vutbr.cz/samba/GUI/
And you want binaries for what program?

Danno13 · 10-22-2003, 12:02 PM

I meant a compiled program for smbk4 cos the webiste said i had to compile it myself and i don't know how to do this!!!

It's quite simple.

You unpack the tar.gz

open a console type:

you@yourmachine$su root
you@yourmachine$********* (password for root)
you@yourmachine$cd /path/to/your/unpacked/targz
you@yourmachine$chmod 762 ./configure
you@yourmachine$./configure
you@yourmachine$make
you@yourmachine$make install
you@yourmachine$exit

That's it...

Ok sounds simple enough, i'll see how it goes. Thanks for the help!

hi Danno13
go for "gnosamba". search it at rpm.pbone.net or rpm.find.net, i am sure you can find gnosamba for your distro.

and what's more, you can even try LinNeighborhood (if you haven't tried it yet). its a samba browser from where you can mount samba drives residing in windows machines.

yum install system-config-samba

Or, if you want to use smb4k, there is a package of the compiled version.

Code:

yum install smb4k

(or whatever it's called in rh9)
cheers,
