In addition to everything already suggested, you also have the option of using SWAT to configure Samba. It may or may not be the best thing depending on your security requirements. If you currently run inetd you need to add the following line to your /etc/inetd.conf file: swat stream tcp nowait/400 root /usr/local/sbin/swat swat It may already exist, although, it is probably commented out. Restart inetd however you wish and see that the port is open for connections: # /etc/rc.d/inetd restart # sockstat | grep 901 root inetd 713 7 tcp4 *:901 *:* Open a web browser and connect to hostname.your.net:901. Supply login information and you are ready to configure Samba. If you are just using the server as a home file server and don't require too many extras to start, this maybe the way to go. -- Mike Eubanks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
