| 130575 | 2003-03-25 00:29:00 | Ah, While I remember, something that may be of use is: redhat-config- and hit tab and there's several other things there, like services, network, stuff like that, so you can use: redhat-config-services to configure network and smb (samba) to load at boot, load when you switch to level 5 (GUI) or whatever, very useful tools in there! |

| 130577 | 2003-03-25 00:43:00 | lol! Does LinNeighborhood come with RedHat 8? BTW - I guess it all depends on if you selected it during install... Took me ages and it was a total fluke chance I found it - Wouldnt have ever known if I hadnt tried out the XFCE Window Manger, Its awesome and lightweight, but I love it! BTW - Hows Goldwave going (Sorry for deviating OT a little here ;-)) |

| 130578 | 2003-03-25 08:32:00 | Thanks for your replies. I fiddled with Samba for three hours before starting to rip my hair out, as it would access the shares and be listed in the Network Neighbourhood, but it wouldn't let me access the files. I think I'll just give up on Samba for the time being and share my files from the Windows PCs. Thanks for all your help. Wintertide |

| 130579 | 2003-03-25 09:13:00 | Did you do CHMOD 777 /transfer like I said? And what about changing the Security tab? |

| 130580 | 2003-03-26 07:11:00 | Keeping an old question alive...... I have created a directory that i have called /inhouse, and as Chill said, i have given it open ownership. Now i added to smb.conf # Global parameters [global] workgroup = TUX-NET netbios name = SAM interfaces = eth0 encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY character set = ISO8859-15 os level = 2 hosts allow = 192.168.X.XXX (Vanessa's IP) printing = lprng veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 printable = Yes browseable = No [Transfer] read only = no writable = yes comment - open file stash for doze boxes path = /inhouse public = yes Here's where it stops making sence. i typed in samba restart bash: samba: command not found ???? so i tried ps aux | more and found only the smbmount was running, thats the mount that lets me see whats in the shared parts of Vanessa So i tried "smb" and then "samba" smb: command not found samba: command not found So samba server is installed, (I checked with YaST2, and even reinstalled it to be sure) BUT isn't running, and doesn't seem to have any predictible command to get it going. I expect there's something blatently obvious that i have overlooked.... but.......... .Clueless |

| 130581 | 2003-03-26 07:20:00 | you did do: su - then typed: service smb restart could it be something else in SuSE then? |
