Okay I've got RedHat 7.3 going and I wanted to get Samba running to share the printer.
Anyway so this book I've got tells me something about Swat. I try that and it doesn't work. So I go back to the book. First of all it tells me to check that there is an entry for swat in /etc/services and there is so that's good. Then it tells me to look in the /etc/xinetd.d/swat file to make sure disable=no but this frigging file doesn't even exist. I also tried reinstalling Samba but that didn't do anything I then thought stuff this I'll look for something else. So I had a bit of a browse and found Webmin. Is cool.. I've seen it before. So I download and install. I login and start looking around. Find the Samba interface and do what I guess should work like turning on the Guest account. But to tell the truth this thing starts to confuse the hell out of me. I dunno wtf I did now... the Redhat box does appear in My Network Places but I can't browse it and after some fiddling I managed to make it so that I don't even have rights to browse the Workgroup anymore :/. I also get an error saying that //Localhost already exists and that I can't access the box (this is from windows). So I turned off Master Broswer on the Redhat box to see if that would fix it but no.. didn't do stuff all that I could see - I was thinking cause it was controlling things it was adding all this security crap to it :/. Sorry if this is a little vague but I mean basically I just want the thing to work.. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. I have no idea wtf I'm doing..

Can you print out your smb.conf file, and tell us exactly what you're trying to do with samba please?

smb.conf
I want to share the printer on my Redhat box with my windows printers... share files too I guess and just generally want it to work and not stuff up. EDIT: I know I am probably making things overly complicated and there is some simple wimple way of making this work but I wouldn't have a clue. If Swat worked that'd be good because that's nice and smiple (last time I used it) but I dunno how the hell to start it

on Windows > net view
Should print a list of Network computers. if it comes up > net view \\<name> If neither of this work, change; socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 in your smb.conf to; socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY If your curious, this is what my [global] section looks like. Code:
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
pam password change = yes
printing = lprng
dns proxy = no
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
wins support = true
printcap name = /etc/printcap
obey pam restrictions = yes
max connections = 5
unix password sync = Yes
server string = "Samba %v"
workgroup = WORKGROUP
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
netbios name = Bangz
load printers = no
public = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0. localhost
interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
bind interfaces only = yes
guest ok = no
EDIT: Have a look here. You should forget about printing for the time being and get file sharing set up accross the network. Then, adding printing is simple.
