| hi, masters!
|
|
| i have installed RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.5.
| i did everything step by step: ./configure , make , make
| install , etc...
|

What were your arguments to configure?

|
| i cannot start 'smbd' and 'nmbd' daemons. i try to run them from
| the command line or from inetd and i get something like:
| "there is no such command"
|
| all Samba commands are in the same
| hierarchy /usr/local/samba/bin.

Is this in your path?

# echo $PATH
what results should contain the directory where your executeables are,
otherwise you need to type the full path.

You may be better off using RPMs from ftp.samba.org (unless you know
what you are doing, since you may have unexpected behaviour if you
haven't removed the original ones).

| i can run other Samba commands, for example 'testparm'
| and 'smbclient', but of course i cannot list available shares
| and whole Samba server doesn't work.
|
| what is the problem? where should i look for???
|
| i had Mandrake 8.2 + Samba before,  and everything worked well.
|

"If its not broken, don't fix it"? There are 2.2.5 RPMs for Mandrake
8.0, 8.1 and 8.2 on ftp.samba.org (and

http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~staburet/samba)
