Starting the Samba Server Wizard to set up the Samba server
Corel LINUX provides a user-friendly Samba Server Wizard. The Samba Server Wizard automatically updates the smb.conf file with the configuration information necessary to run the server.
You can modify your server settings after using the setup wizard using the Samba Server Configuration panel. For information about modifying the Samba server using the Samba Server Configuration panel, see "Modifying the Samba server settings."
You can also edit the smb.conf file to customize the Samba server. If you are setting up only a basic Samba server, you should be able to set up all of the necessary Samba information using the Samba Server Wizard and the Samba Server Configuration form.
To set up the Samba server using the Samba Server Wizard, start the wizard and then fill in the required information. If you have configured the Samba server as a PDC, the wizard verifies that the workgroup you have specified does not already contain a PDC. If a PDC already exists in the workgroup, the setup fails and you must go back and either not configure Samba as a PDC or locate the server in a different workgroup.
You must be logged in as the root user to set up the Samba server.
To start Samba using the Server wizard
Click Application Starter, Applications, Servers, Samba Server Wizard.
Notes
If you are setting up a print server, you must connect and configure your printers before you can print to them. For information about connecting and configuring a printer, see the Corel LINUX User Guide.
To share files or printers after configuring the Samba server, you must configure the sharing properties of each shared directory or printer. For information about sharing a directory or printer, see "Setting up a shared directory or printer."
