re post sorry for the spelling in first one Hi all O.K. here it is I shear a small LAN with my Wife and Kid. I'm trying to convert over to running a Linux box on my Machine instead of WinDoz 98 as I have to at work :-] wile I've read all I can on samba and even bought "samba in 24 hours" as a reference book I still can't seam to get it to work at all. :-[ I have setup redhat 6.1 from the APCmag edition and used the samba RPM on the additional CD supplied to install v2.0.5a. I have tried both SWAT and gtksamba to configure and test it. My main problem is that when I try to run a status check on smb I always get "can't open /var/lock/samba/STATUS.LCK "file error message. Can I just put a blank file in that directory and let samba do as it likes with it or do I have to reload samba from scratch, ether RPM or the tar file.? please help Rob -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
