I have gottne the samba.dsl installed, and able to connect to shares via linneighborhood - I want to get the samba server up and running and share form the DSL box

I have found 2 different smb.conf - but I am not sure where the executable is to run samba

I triend /usr/sbin/smdb but that didnt work - doesnt look to be an init.d script for samba - any ideas??

also - side question - how do you change the hostname of the dsl install from BOX to something else??

thanks

My understanding to the samba.dsl is, it provides the GUI client to connect to a samba share.

For establishing a samba server, you already has the daemon installed. And it is the /usr/sbin/smbd that you have mentioned. You can execute it simply by running "smbd".

Since I have installed the DSL to my harddisk, I am not sure if it fits your case 100%. To me, I have modified the smbd.conf located in /etc/samba/smb.conf, changed the workgroup and created the share that I need. After that, I can connect the share from my OS X machine.
