Question How To Install Samba Post Install?


Right now I am on a RHEL4 box and just ran an up2date on it however I noticed that I may have forgot to install Samba on it as I don't see the following directories:

/etc/samba/*
/etc/init.d/samba

I was wondering if I have no GUI (CLI only server) what is the best way to install Samba on this machine?

The startup is init.d/smb rather than init.d/samba.

RHEL uses /etc/sysconfig for a lot of stuff so your config files may be there rather than /etc itself.

You may also have the redhat-config tool for Samba so you can use that.

What do you see if you run "rpm -qa |grep samba"?

For the packages you see (if any) you can see the files it installed with:
rpm -ql <package>

If you don't have any installed you can try:
up2date --whatprovides samba

You can use up2date from command line to install it. See the up2date man page.

Thanks for the reply & info.

I did the following and found no results from the "grep" so I followed your instructions and think I may have messed up somewhere...no?

Code:
[root@print ~]# rpm -qa |grep samba
[root@print ~]# up2date --whatprovides samba
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11.i386
[root@print ~]# up2date -i samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11.i386

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-es-4...

Fetching rpm headers...

Name                                    Version        Rel     
----------------------------------------------------------


The following packages you requested were not found:
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11.i386

***EDIT***

up2date -i samba works just fine...

You may want to be sure you have these other Samba related packages if they weren't installed along with samba as dependencies:

samba-common
samba-client
redhat-config-samba

I believe those are dependencies so u2date should auto install them as part of the Samba package but thanks for the info!
