hi, still very much a newbie
Installed samba-2.2.0a and everything looks good but when I try to run ./smbclient -U% -L localhost, the added interface sections look good but the rest shows the following:
I am trying to run this on Slackware 7 and now when I do a <ps aux> it keeps trying to run nmbd and will eventually kill inetd until I can do nothing but restart or <killall nmbd> if I notice it in time. Then I have to go back and comment out the lines:
....in indetd.conf. swat works great though, (looks all pretty and stuff, arg!!!) but the results of running smbclient or a testparm don't look to promising for me to go any further. It doesn't help that I'm quite stupid but I guess I'm learning new things as I go along and hope to figure it out this month, maybe?
I've installed the version 2.0.5a (but from the source - can't quite figure out howto from pkgtool).
I do have an entry in hosts file for localhost.
before where nmbd was running until it would kill everything, with the new install, neither smbd and nmbd is running after restarting inetd with the proper entries.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, you have no idea.
thx.
