Hi all, I am back for more punishment- Anyway I reinstalled my Linux using SuSe 8.2 pro. I did not install the defualt Samba , instead I got the latest tarball for 3.0b2 I also installed webmin. Now it comes up with error "The Samba server executable /usr/sbin/smbd was not found. Either Samba is not installed on your system or your module configuration is incorrect." Now when I downloaded it I stored it on the Desktop and used terminal to extract it and install it from there. How can I fix this problem? Or is there a way to uninstall it without redoing the whole thing again? Sorry for my mistake but any help would be greatly apreciated. K Williams
If you extract the tarball, do a ./configure, make and make install, then samba will be installed in /usr/local/samba. The daemons (smbd, nmbd) reside underneath /usr/local/samba/bin. If this is not wat you want, try to fiddle with the --prefix options for the ./configure script. You can see all options when you type ./configure --help. Maybe there's a possibility to tell Webmin where to look for samba ... I don't use this, so I am not sure>-- Origineel Bericht -- >From: Keith Williams <ikw38@comcast.net> >To: samba@samba.org >Date: 09 Jul 2003 01:06:11 -0500 >Cc: >Reply-To: ikw38@comcast.net >Subject: [Samba] Need a little help here. > > >Hi all,I am back for more punishment- Anyway I reinstalled my Linux using SuSe 8.2 pro.

The samba you just install its under a different folder than expected (probably /user/local/samba) you have to install it under root. See my previous post on the smb.conf. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Santos Soler MCP, Network+, A+ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Keith, There's no specific command console for samba to edit smb.conf files. I usually edit this file using vi (or other prefered editor). You can check if your file is valid when runing 'testparm'. Since you configured samba with the default options (plain ./configure), samba will expect your config to be at: /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf (not /etc/smb.conf). If you don't like this please issue ./configure --help and you'll see how to change the prefix for the config file (something like --sysconfdir i think). regards, Kenneth ---------------------------------------------------- Solden Tiscali ADSL : 27,50 euro/maand tot eind 2003.
