Using SAMBA

Allow your Linux box to share files and other resources, such as printers, with Windows boxes.

• The Samba daemon reads the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf to determine its various modes of operation.
• testparm to check the configuration file.
• Samba Packages

   # rpm -qa|grep samba
   system-config-samba-1.2.21-1
   samba-common-3.0.8-0.pre1.3
   samba-3.0.8-0.pre1.3
   samba-swat-3.0.8-0.pre1.3
   samba-client-3.0.8-0.pre1.3

• whether the smb process is running with the pgrep command

   [root@ibm linux]# pgrep smb
