I have a GUI for Samba already as it most likely installed, the problem is I don't have a shared folder in admin menu. I have told samba what folder to share and what user to have access to it. As well I have looked at the config file to make sure what was in the gui printed into the config file. However I cannot start, stop, restart samba via command line.

I will try config package and hopefully that drops down everything, thanks.

Package system-config-samba-1.2.41-5.el5.noarch already installed and latest version nothing to do.
but I cannot run command sudo /etc/init.d/samaba reload
/etc/init.d/samaba: command not found

Help

P.S.
Please still checking out the links above to see if I forgot to do something

so i ran sudo /etc/init.d/smb start
starting service smb nmb

sudo service smbd restart unrecognized service, nmbd same thing.
Now it is installed, but has no script file or the script file is not in the init.d folder like it should be still trying to figure out what to do to fix this problem, but linux keeps saying that it is installed.

I have come to the conclusion that the daemons are not installed and am trying to figure out what those script files look like or a way to import them off a ftp, however no luck with google so far. But the scripts files don't exist on my box. how do you install samba daemons when it says samba is already installed.

The a is probably the problem. What distro are you using? If it's Slackware as your info to the left suggests it would be for others it's likely

Nope Centos 5.5 I have no clue what is going wrong, but none of those places have the daemons\script files to run those commands.

I don't want to delete it for one I don't know how, but I just want to be able to install those two script files and hopefuly it will solve my problem. I small things like the configuration files of everything that were already there can't start the dang program.

if you dont have any knowledge in samba server try to reinstall your operating system

Reinstalling my OS want yield anything, not when the majority of places refer to samba as samba or smbd. They don't refer to it as smb. As well they refer to it as older distro that would have a admin -> shared folder, not a samba GUI. When the reconfiguration of samba changed so should the instructions on what to do. It hard trying to figure out what should be there and what should not be there. As well I don't want to reinstall as I have a webserver up and running.

I think I am using the update version to this to try to figure out my problems, but will return after work to get Linux and Windows to talk.

So if yours is better let me know thanks.

Both Windows and Linux were using localhost, and that cause a bunch of confusion once I changed it, bam bam bookie.
