SAMBA not working in RHEL5

I've followed these steps to install Samba on my CentOS package. However, when I try to run chkconfig --level 345 nmb on, I get a nmb: unrecognized service error.

I tried service nmb status and service nmb restart with the same error message returning.

There doesn't seem to be anything regarding this, what's wrong? Why do I not have nmb installed, and how can I get it installed?

I am trying to get a Samba file server running at home and every guide I find makes this look straight forward. The problem is that the Samba configuration directory is read only and I cannot change this so cannot configure Samba :(

1. I have selected Samba as an option installing Ubuntu 12.04 Server 2. I have tried to configure the smb.conf using nano but cannot write due to read only. 3.

I recently followed a guide to configure Samba but I couldn't get it configured properly. After realizing that the guide was six years out of date I thought I should start again.

I'm trying to set up basic file sharing between two computers in my home. Both are using Ubuntu 10.04. I've installed samba and swat on both. From my computer I can see my wifes and mine on the network, but from hers ... nothing. I tried to use the command sudo /etc/init.d/samba start but this just brought back "command not found"

What am I missing?

I tried this

Code: yum install samba system-config-samba seemed to go ok...

and tried deleting the pid files and restarting nmb but it won't start. I have xinetd running btw and Samba installed.

Hello there,

PLEASE : Quick question on RHEL 5 I recently installed as a VM machine (all up & running).

I want to mount a shared folder on linux so it can be accessed by Windows.

So I dl Samba from samba.org and installed (./configure, make, then make install)

I assume the install went well as I have a new folder called “samba” within /etc.

Hi guys, I am failing miserably at the moment in getting the samba service on fc17 to work it keeps on giving me core dumps.

I am trying to authenticate users using samba-2.6 based on w2003 active directory group membership.But I miss something.... Does anobody know does my Linux (rhel5) needs SAMBA and join the Active Directory Domain to archieve this? Can somebody post his squid.conf with squid_ldap_group authentication?

My /etc/samba/smb.conf is# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too # many!) most of which are not shown in this example # # For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba, # read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.
