Re: [CentOS] Starting samba configuration

After installing samba, "rpm -q" shows me I have samba, samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat installed.

However, putting http://localhost:901 in the browser brings up an error that the URL cannot be found.

swat is installed disabled by default. go to /etc/xinetd.d, find the swat config file, and # comment out the line that says 'disabled'... service xinetd reload, then you can connect to http://localhost:901

samba itself isn't started by default either, after configuring thingss with swat, you have to

# chkconfig samba-server on # service samba-server start

{note, I might have the service name wrong here, look in /etc/init.d for smbd or samba or something}
