i am a rookie so please give every detail... i need help installing samba on my solaris 8 (intel) box so i can share with WXP box. i can get online, but can only see websites as outline\text form but managed to download "samba-latest.tar.z" is this correct? and what is next step to get it up and working?......
See if Samba is included on the Software Companion DVD for Solaris 8. If it is there then install it using the provided package.
If you're installing from source, which I assume is what you downloaded, then this forum is not the place to get help. Instead seek assistance from a website or mailing list that is actually intended to support Samba.
