i cant get my samba server to work on RH7 please help

You will either have to be more specific in the nature of the problem or do one of the following:[list=a][*]Hire someone to do it for you[*]Consult the psychic friends network.

So give me a hint. You can't compile it? You can't start the daemon? You can't share anything? You can't see any resources?

Please post what you have done/tried/configured.

umm i followed the guide that is suggested when you goto that port and netscape searches for it, it seams either its no configured right or i just cant get it to run. it came with my install of rh7 so do i have to compile it?

If anyone gets their number send it my way - I know *soooo* many people who need their help

Samba? Netscape?

Samba makes your Linux box look like an NT box - I don't get where Netscape is in the equation. You sure you're using the right tool for the job here axon2?

If you are *really* using Samba then have a look in /var/log/log.smb and /var/lob/log.nmb for some hints about why its not starting. Setting it up should be reasonably straight forward - just change a few settings in /etc/smb.conf - there is normally something like /etc/smb.conf-example that you can work from. Or download one of the many tools for setting up your Samaba config then (re)start smbd and nmbd.

Post some more specific details - including the guide you have read.

good luck - HTH

what are some of the good tools to use when setting up samba?

You may want to use a program called swat or better yet WebMin (can be found at linuxberg)
Better yet is to edit the smb.conf in your favourite text editor.

How about this?

I think that he is talking about SWAT that uses NETSCAPE to set it up.
That's all I know.
