Slackware Question

[twofoolish2b]

Does anyone know if Slackware 7.1 loads Samba on a full install? I have did a "which samba" and it does not find it. If it didn't install the first time how would I extract Samba from the cdrom?

Thanks...

A full install should install every package on the install CD. Check the /etc/ directory to see if you have a file names smb.conf-example file or something named similarly.

on a full install, the samba services are installed and initiated on boot/multiuser mode (run level 3) for slack.
(you will have to have setup your network during setup either via static, dhcp or loopback)

if you want to confirm this do a:
ls -al
in your /etc/rc.d directory.
you should notice that rc.samba is executable (755).

this doesn't mean that samba is configured however. for that you'll have to read a few how-to's and there may be an NHF here if I'm not mistaken...

hope this helps,
cheers

Thanks guys. I finally got it working. I have done this before, but it was on Mandrake. I am just starting to understand Slackware and I must say it's different. Thanks for the help.
