Boy you certainly dive nto the deep end don't you?
When you install samba from RPMs, which is what I assume you have done from
your earlier posts, you have all the files installed for you in the
appropriate places. The configuration file you are referring to is
/etc/smb.conf and contains a lot of fairly standard configuration options
that can be switched on by removing a semi-colon. It isn't quite as
straight forward a package as you seem to be assuming however and I would
guess that you have a bit of research and effort to undertake yet.
Once again, check in /usr/share/doc/samba-verNo and see what docs have been
installed. Frankly I don't see you installing and making samba work in a
n/w without going through the docs supplied with the package. Learned
though some of the people on this list are - not to mention helpful, they
aren't going to wave a magic wand for you. It is possible to answer specific
queries as to why something doesn't work but to be honest, IMHO, you're not
going to get samba up and running without an effort on your part first.
If you are short of docs, or packages then www.samba.org is the place to
look. If you have RPMS available on cdrom then you require three RPMs, the
server, the common files and the client. If you are going to compile from
sources then I believe v 2.1 is the lowest version that will deal properly
with NT.
As a final comment, you should be able to get a linux server working well
with win98 but you will have a more... interesting, task on your hands with
WinNT
