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

[Tori Williamson]

No worries... installing RPMs is SUPER simple. You'll be happier going this
route:

Stop samba and delete the dir (I believe /usr/local/samba).

Then install the RPM's in this order thusly:

#> rpm -ivh samba-common-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
#> rpm -ivh samba-server-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm
#> rpm -ivh samba-swat-2.2.7-1.i386.rpm

You shouldn't need the samba-client, since you won't be conecting that
server to any other samba server.

After install, run "/etc/init.d/smb start". the smb.conf file is located in
/etc/samba. NOTE: once you edit the smb.conf file, you need to restart
samba: "/etc/init.d/smb restart".

email me if you have any problems. :-)
