[opensuse] why is samba on my machine?
I'm running leap 42.2. I don't use Windows but YaST says that the samba package along with a bunch of other packages associated with 'samba' are installed. smbd doesn't appear to be running, and YaST says the file server pattern is not installed. So why are all these samba packages present on my machine and is it safe to delete them? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I imagine you have the client packages installed. I don't know which pattern brings them in. In tumbleweed, all the patterns got a full review and update recently. Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Use 'rpm -q -f' on one of the files to see what packages are involved. Then use 'zypper rm' to remove those packages. Hmm. if you haver the pattern then any subsequent 'zypper up/dup' will bring them back, I think. I don't know what to do about that. is there some what you use zypper or rpm to query for just 'patterns'/ -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I assume that if you install any GUI, like KDE, which comes with a file browser, like Dolphin, then having samba client installed is a requirement. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
