Hello, I am first time Samba user. Unix = HP-UX 11.0 Network = Win 2K My Goal: To make few files public, which is on the unix box in a certain directory. I loaded Samba from the website and did everything else as mentioned in the instructions. Was successfully able to acheieve my goal. Then somehow following directories/files (on Unix machine) got deleted: /usr/local/samba {directory} /var/us/local/samba/ {directory} /tmp/samba-2.2.7a {directory where I had installed Samba} /etc/rc.config.d/samba {file} I cannot recover any of these things. Please don't ask how it got deleted (REALLY LONG story). Now my question is: I would like to get back to where I was earlier. Is there someway, I can do an un-install of samba and start all over again. Because if I tried to re-install samba, it is not creating above directories and files for me. PLEASE HELP!!!
