What do I do next?Hi, This is how you have to install the binaries: 1. Extract the archive to the root directory. 2. Modify /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf accordingly to your needs 3. Test your smb.conf with testparms 4. Run "/etc/samba enable" once to allow automatic startup of Samba during boot 5. If you do not reboot run "/etc/samba start" to start Samba This is the basic stuff. I suggest that you also download the source distribution to get all additional information that comes with it.
