Re: [newbie] SMB package missing
There are three RPMS to do with samba samba-common samba-client samba-server To share with Windows mahines you need samba-common and samba-server To mount remote shares on Win machine you need samba-client as well. Use software manager in Mandrake Conrrol Centre to install the RPMS. You are not finished then. It is still necessary to configure Samba to set WorkGroup name, and to define Samba passwords (they are different to Linux passwords) This will help you out :- http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/connect/csamba.html derek On Wednesday 16 Oct 2002 6:55 am, Ted Manka wrote: > HI all!

Re: [newbie] SMB package missing
Ted, When you run a "rpm -qa | grep samba" what do you get? This command will query the rpm database and grep (search for) samba. I get: samba-common-2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk samba-client-2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk samba-server-2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk samba-swat-2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2mdk I have the samba client (common and client) installed, which is default I believe, and the samba server (server and swat), which is not by default. I you do not have the last two then you need to install then. I would use the "Install Software" application and search for samba, you should find the server and swat on disk 2. Jim F.

[newbie] SMB package missing
HI all! Ok, so here is the deal. I am trying to set up a samba server on my home network. In KDE I right click on the file I want to share, I follow the dialog to share the file but then at the end I get a funny message: Diskdrake "Mandatory package SMB is missing" But the kicker is that SMB is installedI'm pretty sure it is. SoI guess my question is: how can I verify the integrity(existence?) of my SMB package...and I guess I wanted to see if anyone else was having this problem. Prob just me. Ok so I wanted to say thanks in advance to all who help me with this problem...and thanks for having me in the Mandrake community. Ted Manka Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
