[Samba] RE: Samba installation error

[Prince Tokunbo]

hello Dirk,
 
thanks for the info. Sorry, im new to the Linux World.
I just wanted to ask, will the samba2.....that comes with my RedHat9.2 installation work for what I want to achieve(to connect my LinuxPC to my Windows PC so that I can exchange files between the two?) - im asking so that I dont uninstall Samba2 and begin to have problems installing the new version.
 
Also, you said "it has to be configured via command line, swat or webmin" how do I configure it?
 
thanks
Toks



Hi,

at first, use the default samba mailing list (samba at samba.org)
second, you have to uninstall samba first, before installing the new release.
rpm -e samba-2.....
rpm -ivh samba-3.....
or use the redhat package manager or kde packagemanager (kpackage)

third, you won't find any samba icon, it has to be configured via command line, swat or webmin.
hope this helps....


Mit freundlichem Gruß,

-| A friend informed me about the SAMBA software - that
-| it(samba-3.0.9-1_rh9.i386.rpm) can accomplish the task I

-| 
-| so I thought that maybe the RedHat9 installation I got comes with a
-| version of SAMBA? am I right?
-| 
-| If so, how do i "activate/configure" it, coz it doesnt no 
-| icon of SAMBA
-| shows up in my startup menu.
-| 
-| Thanks
