red hat and samba !!!!!!!!!

[danthegeek]

Ive made the jump yo linux for a server in my hame. I am using Red Hat 7.2 and I was told by another member on the forum that I need samba so the server can been seen on windows networks. The only problem is I cant get the dang samba installed. I dont have much experience with inux, ok none, and Ive been using a book to get me this far. Ive even looked on the samba site and I cant make sence of any of it. IM IN OVER MY HEAD.. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Any help would be appreciated.

I _thought_ that samba was installed by default on RH 7.2...(If not I blew that question...)

I would actually download and install the latest Fedora Core (6 I think). It has the latest security stuff and it does come with an option to install Samba during the initial install, avoiding all the dependency crap.

Thanks Everyone. I finally got it installed, I was looking for the configuration file in the wrong place. A little trial and error did the trick though (and yes ALOT of swearing) Now, on to setting up Samba.... (the swearing begins again). Huhhhh

Good luck! The first dozen times I setup a samba share I wanted to hunt the developers down and tar and feather them. After that it came naturally. Since I have not setup Samba in years I would be cussing too I am sure.
