6.1 and Samba (beaten again by new technologies)



Yet another guess... are you sure the daemons are even running? Check on the
"status" page of SWAT to make sure. I wasted about 20mins banging my
gigantic head against a very hard wall last week because of this. Samba was
installed by 6.1, but wasn't set to start up with the system. ;)

I'd guess instead that Kevin had initially gotten SAMBA to work by
installing from scratch, and then had upgraded it via an RPM.
Unfortunately, these two methods install to wildly different places!

So, I would -again guess - that Kevin's SWAT displays and configures
things, but that it doesn't actually *do* anything, because it's altering
all the wrong files.

As for the smb files being missing, which ones are they?  I'd guess that
they're there, just in different places.  Try running this command:

rpm -l samba (optionally with a "| less")

This will list out all the files that the samba rpm installs, including
any configuration files that come with it.  Does it have any in /etc?  Are
they there?

Hey, this is just a guess.  Am I right?
