I have to manually start Samba every time the system is rebooted. What is the best way to start samba during the boot process like httpd? Currently I have to log in and use samba start. Thanks for any advice
 
If you are starting RH without a GUI login, go to the directory /etc/rc.d/rc3.d. If you are using a GUI login, go to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d.

If there is a file there named K<digit><digit>samba or K<digit><digit>smb, rename that file, changing the &quot;K&quot; to an &quot;S&quot;.

If not, create a symbolic link to the script or app you use to start samba by hand.
