[Samba] samba newbie having trouble configuring samba on RH7.3...

[Tori Williamson]

Marv,

My vote is with Sameer... read his prior letter and download the 4 rpms and
install them. It will TRULY make your life easier. Being that you're using
Samba at home, you're not going to gain anything over source vs. RPM. If
this was a production deployment, I'd probably say different. But you'll
have much easier control over the RPMS.

I had forgotten that you compiled from source. All yu need to do is dump the
/usr/local/samba dir (after stopping samba of course). Then install the RPMS
and start samba: "/etc/init.d/smb start"
