I have got FC5 , I tried to start the process of samba installation from scratch, but i could not get it done!!!! What I have done is this :

 

[root@localhost ~]# man samba

No manual entry for samba

 

[root@localhost log]# smbd -V

bash: smbd: command not found

 

[root@localhost ~]# ls -Rl | grep samba*

 

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba*

samba-client-3.0.21b-2

samba-common-3.0.21b-2

 

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i samba-client-3.0.21b-2

error: open of samba-client-3.0.21b-2 failed: No such file or directory

 

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i samba-common-3.0.21b-2

error: open of samba-common-3.0.21b-2 failed: No such file or directory

 

[root@localhost ~]# apt -get install samba swat

bash: apt: command not found

 

I tried to use: less /var/log/packages/samba*

 

[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/log

[root@localhost log]# ls

anaconda.log btmp gdm maillog scrollkeeper.log wtmp

anaconda.syslog cron httpd messages secure Xorg.0.log

anaconda.xlog cups lastlog ppp spooler Xorg.0.log.old

boot.log dmesg mail samba vbox yum.log

 

[root@localhost log]# cd samba

[root@localhost samba]# ls -al

total 16

drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 13 2006 .

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jan 20 13:51 ..

 

I could not find any thing

Desktop --> System Settings --> Server Settings --> Samba

 

 

Any comment where is my mistake ?

Hi,

 

Try issuing the following command:

 



Code:
yum install samba




Thanks , I will try it and let you know .

I was trying to install samba again (in case if it has not been installed properly)from Add/ Remove Program , but I received this error message :
