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 :)

After your first cup of coffee, add the following (changed for your release) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE_11... 3.2 is an older release. 3.4 is current. update the samba packages and see if that helps. If not, a post to the samba list is usually the quickest was to get an answer. Post back if you get hung up. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
