how to install samba

[ssphoenix]

I am in need of a document on how to install samba under sco. I need to be able to get to a shared folder under unix from an NT box.

I would greatly appreciated if you have a how to document. I've been a few read me documents they something seems missing and I cannot find it.

I am stuck at the make install. Make not found.
i assume this is the compiler but Sco should have the gnu compiler installed.

help would be grealy appreciated.

thanks

make is part of the development system.
You may find binaries on your skunk CD.
Or here for OpenServer:

Or here for UnixWare:

Hope This Help

ok. step by step this is how i do it.
its not overly secure, its not pretty
but it works ok for me, and should allow
you to get it up and running and then you can
tinker. btw the distro from samba.org has the text
of a book about samba in html format FOC.


download from

http://www.caldera.com/skunkware.

tar xvf <file>

install via scoadmin (software manager)

now there are three things you need to know

1. /etc/init.d/samba start | stop | restart
2. edit the file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
to look like this
***************************
[global]
workgroup = blah
server string = blah unix server
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = no
wins server = 192.168.200.7

[root]
path=/
guest ok = yes
read only = no

**********************

the [root] bit is the windows share name

3. add the lines /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/local/samba/sbin/nmbd -D

to /etc/inet.d/rc.d/8/userdef or similar
so they start up with sco

oh , yes, the fourth bit!!

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a root

to add root as a user

Hope this helps
