samba

samba is software that enables Linux to replace a Windows server.

installation

On Fedora/RedHat/CentOS install samba, samba-client and samba-common. You can do this with the gui package manager or with yum.

installation

see http://www.jonhoweonline.com/blog/node/87

Install on debian:

apt-get install samba swat xinetd
update-inetd --enable 'swat'

Create a text file called /etc/xinetd.d/swat with the following information in it:

# default: on
# description: SWAT - The Samba Web Administration Toolkit
service swat
{
disable = no
port = 901
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
type = unlisted
}

You have to edit the samba configuration file and (or use swat) restart samba and xinetd.

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
/etc/init.d/samba restart
