Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get samba running? Once I've got that far, I'm happy to play around with /etc/samba/smb.conf
Thanks,

Sure Bob,
It's simple. Here is an outline with a few tricks:
1) add each user that will access the samba shares to smbpasswd:
smbpasswd -a username
(tip: use the same password as the windows password for the user and the login is usually automatic)
And here we hit the first obstacle: barrowhillfarm:~ # smbpasswd -a hils Failed to open file:///etc/samba/secrets.tdb Failed to open file:///etc/samba/secrets.tdb PANIC (pid 24192): could not open secrets db BACKTRACE: 6 stack frames: #0 smbpasswd(log_stack_trace+0x1a) [0x7f89d8a2929a] #1 smbpasswd(smb_panic+0x1f) [0x7f89d8a2936f] #2 smbpasswd(get_global_sam_sid+0x547) [0x7f89d8997b77] #3 smbpasswd(main+0x514) [0x7f89d893b3f4] #4 /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe6) [0x7f89d6177586] #5 smbpasswd [0x7f89d893aac9] Segmentation fault There's something fundamentally sick with my installation, which I need to sort out first. Then I'll be delighted to use your outline :) Bob (off to bed now) -- Registered Linux User #463880 FSFE Member #1300 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 11.1, Kernel 2.6.27.25-0.1-default, KDE 4.3 Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 4GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 9200GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
