Hello - I am about to drive myself up the wall I think : ) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's my current situation: I have these two machines: An AMD athlon running W2K SP2, and a Gateway running RH linux 7.0. They are networked thru a 10/100 hub, and the network connection and hardware is all fine (The gateway box can also dual boot into windows, and when both machines are running windows, i can see both boxes and share files) I installed RedHat 7.0 from the installation CD's packaged with a Linux for Dummy's book (i feel like a dummy, so i guess it's fitting). During install, i chose to install the Samba, Samba Common, and Samba Client packages. I've actually installed and reinstalled several times already, each time I tinkered on my own i made so many changes that it seemed easier to reinstall than try to remember how to undo what i had done : )

To start the daemons, you have three choices: 1) Manually, at the beginning of each session (you said this is unacceptable and I agree) 2) Start them dynamically. In Red Hat 7 and later, they switched from using inetd.conf to xinetd.conf. Check the documentation on that file - things changed a little bit. 3) Start them at boot time and keep them running. This is my preferred option. In my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, I have the following code (toward the end): if [ -x /usr/sbin/smbd ]; then echo "Starting smbd..." smbd -D echo "Starting nmbd..." nmbd -D fi On your next reboot, the daemons should be running and stay running.
