Red Hat

morning all,

anyone has installed samba on redhat el 5 server? after installed service (smb service in) where to edit samba configurations?

as for the el4, on desktop in application --> system setting --> server setting -- > samba.

but in el5, in the server setting no such samba option.

thanks all for help

I believe it is /etc/samba/smb.conf, but just make sure to be safe.

You may want to try system-config-samba. That should launch samba's configuration in a GUI if that is what you are more familiar with.

i have tried system-config-samba: command not found......

If you have a yum repository you can install the GUI with:

Code:

yum install system-config-samba

Else, google for the RPMs.


If you prefer to use the TUI, the configuration file is

Code:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

thanks all for great help. bcos i knew and worked with redhat only few months, i am not sure how to config smb.conf. can help to verify those i put in conf file. but still not working.

this is what added in smb.conf shared options

Code:

[ftprcs]
        comment = ftprcs
        path = /home/unified/ftp_upload
        availabe = yes
        browseable = yes
        writeable = no
        public = yes
        guest ok = yes

after run testparm shows no errors:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[ftprcs]"
Unknown parameter encountered: "availabe"
Ignoring unknown parameter "availabe"
Loaded services file OK.

any one knows whats wrong ???

You have a typo:

Code:

[ftprcs]
        comment = ftprcs
        path = /home/unified/ftp_upload
        available = yes
        browseable = yes
        writeable = no
        public = yes
        guest ok = yes

However it should not affect the daemon. It will just ignore the typo.

Did you actually test the connection from a different server?
