I am attempting to set up Samba on a small network with one Sunblade 100 workstation running Solaris 8, one Win98Se machine and one Win2000 server. The installation of the binaries went well but on configuring SWAT by adding ?swat 901/tcp? to the end of the /etc/services file I received the error message ?this file is read only?. Must I configure both DNS and WINS on my Windows machines and if so how does one accomplish this? Do I need to list my Windows machines as nameservers with their corresponding IP addresses in etc/hosts file? What is the best way of configuring the all important smb.conf file in my /usr/local/samba/lib directory? As you can tell I am a newbie to Samba and would most appreciate any and all advice. Thanks again, Martin Perlin mperlin@msn.com or call (203)856-0185 anytime! -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

Step 5b. starting it as a daemon), where do I place the file which you suggest I call startsmb and what should the file thus created contain?
