I went to enable samba on my home machine, which has a largely plain vanilla install of CentOS 4.4 Plus, and the smbd and nmbd files are missing. As you may know, this makes it rather difficult to run samba. For some reason, the winbindd binary is present, and rpm reports:
samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E.11 samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E.11
as present. So how do I retrieve the missing samba binaries/ Do I remove and reinstall the packages, or do I rebuild the latest samba from source, or . . . ???
Thanks.

yum install samba samba-swat
(the 2nd is optional... I use it to simplify configuring samba as the .conf file is long and complex....)

Yeah, I figured that out (finally!). It still doesn't work right, but I'll get there.
Okay, I can't just drop a teaser like that.
I have my machine configured to run VMWare Server with a NAT ethernet connection, and with samba running, I can see the host with "printers and faxes" and "scheduled tasks," but no drives. The whole point of this is to get access to my host drives from my Windows on VMWare guest. Here's my smb.conf:
# cat smb.conf # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MARKGROUP server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 hosts allow = 192.168.230. 192.168.108. 127. cups options = raw
[homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%u valid users = %S read only = No browseable = No
[printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No
[tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = No guest ok = No
Now, I would expect at least to be able to see the tmp, but nothing. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks.

have you configured smbpasswd's for your windows users? I don't see a security method there, I'll assume the default is USER, which corresponds to how Windows NT/2K/XP work. Also, both of your shares, [homes] and [tmp] are browseable=no which means they won't show up in browser queries.
I recommend walking through the 'getting started' documentation on the Samba site.

In addition to what you already have installed, you need samba-3.0.10-1.4E.11.
