File Sharing /w Windows - SAMBA

[keivn dodd]

The Samba package is included with most distros and provides file and printer sharing services to windows clients.

Config Files
/etc/samba/smb.conf

Binary Files
/usr/bin/smbclient -L hostname - Lists the shares on the host
/usr/bin/smbpasswd -a user - Sets the smb password for the user account
/usr/bin/smbcontrol
/usr/bin/smbstatus

The text book covers it on page 829-835
Here is a good example of some of the available options available

xinetd starts server deamons on demand. It's used to start the SWAT interface deamon.
It replaces the depreciated initrd.
Pages 887 - 893 of the text book. http://www.xinetd.org/faq.html

Its configuration file is /etc/xinetd.conf

Trying to impliment it but still haven't quite figured it out. I got xinetd to load SWAT and I have smb, smbd, and nmbd running. I think there is still something I'm missing.
