Thanks Michael Rock Your last message basically said go back and start over
with the HOWTOs. I did. Thanks for the good advice.
Unfortunately though starting over produced more questions.
I went off to The SAMBA Project Documentation at
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html
and obtained a copy of their HOWTO (well actually I did this part several
weeks ago).
Anyway I started re-verifying that everything was set up correctly.
To the untrained eye smb.conf appeared to be set up correctly and was found
at /etc/services.
testparm appeared to run correctly and I am assuming for this post that that
is a valid statement.
/etc/services had netbios-ssn 139/tcp and netbios-ssn 137/udp
Things looked good until I reached Step 5 at 1.6.1 Starting smbd and nmbd.
But when I checked on /etc/inetd.conf there was no such file.
Also the HOWTO states that this file may vary depending on the distribution.
The example given says to add the following two lines:
netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbd smbd
netbios-ssn dgram upd wait root
/usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd
I would appreciate suggestions.
First, how does one verify that smbd and nmbd are are are not running.
If they are not running should the file inetd.conf be created or does RH 7.0
use some other method to start smbd and nmbd?
Thanks
Frank
