User Feedback :: SAMBA
i downloaded . It does not appear anywhere in the menu. HOw do i start it from the command line?
Ooo.. that comment could fill volumes. In fact, there are books about running SAMBA at your local Barnes and Noble.
Simple way is to install swat which is a web interface for the setup and configuration of your samba shares.
I would also do an apt-get install man-db and then use the man pages for samba and swat to get more familiar with how it works.
to see the manual pages for samba after man-db is installed is to type:
man samba
for swat:
man swat

I thought that DSL only had the samba client, not a server ? Would I have to apt-get this or somethign as well as the SWAT interface 
Any help appreciated.
Yup, you need to:
apt-get samba
apt-get swat
and then read the man files (provided you did a apt-get mandb before) to activate samba and swat.

After just quickly checking the main website, its seems the 'extensions' now include samba! I presume this will be the server, then i just need ot apt-get SWAT 
[EDIT]Got the samba extension all looks good and I can see the shares on my network. But when I try to mount shares in LinNeighbourhood it says 'can't resolve host address'. But if I do smbclient in the terminal, I can get at the shares no problem. Note: I'm testing with the live CD here, so if I did a HDonstall all should be well??? [/EDIT]
