After a lot of confusion on my part I got Samba running in Suse Pro. 8.1 My question now is why do I have to go to Swat and start SMBD and NMBD everytime I boot up?
Probably because it would quite a huge security risk to have smbd and nmbd run automatically.
Isn't there some way for me to make these start on bootup?
No doubtedly. You can use either YaST2 or chkconfig: 1. YaST2: System->Runlevel Editor. From there you can put checkboxes next to the runlevels you want it to start on. Good choices are 3 and 5. 2. chkconfig: # chkconfig -l smb nmb smb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off nmb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off # chkconfig nmb 35 # chkconfig smb 35 # chkconfig -l smb nmb smb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off nmb 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off # If you use an xterm, it's nice and color-coded...
I looked in inetd and didn't see the items there.
Samba does not use inetd or any inet daemon.
