I'm running Debian 3.0 and have been working on setting up my machine on a

tried running "modprobe smbfs", but the smbfs module couldn't been found. I
also tried running smbsh but that couldn't be found either.
What kernel are you using ("uname -a")? Last time I checked, Debian
Woody (3.0) installs 2.2.20-compact by default, and that binary doesn't
include the smbfs module. You'll need a full-strength kernel, either one
you get in binary form ("apt-cache search kernel-image" for the choices) or
that you compile yourself ("apt-cache kernel-source" for the choices).
I thought that perhaps there were setting that I did not correctly set when
installing Samba (such as the -smbwrapper option). So I tried using dselect
to remove and reinstall Samba. However, before compilation dselect didn't
prompt for any options.
I haven't done this is in a long time myself, so I don't recall what
options it might prompt for.
After Samba was reinstalled, I discovered that the system could no longer
find man!
You need to describe this "discovery" in a bit more detail to get any help
with it. What command did you actually type and what was the response?
Anyone have any suggestions on what could have happened, and how
to get smbsh or smbmount to work properly?
