Can I fix this or do I need to reinstall Centos 4.4?
I've never used that thing (the file name is system-config-samba) as it
can mangle the /etc/samba/smb.conf file .... I have never liked system-
config-samba.
You shouldn't reinstall ... that program only works half the time
anyway ... if it was not in the upstream distro and if we were not
trying to mirror the upstream distro as closely as possible I would have
taken it out already.
Your best bet is to learn how to edit that file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) by
hand.
You can test the file for errors with this command (as root) from the
command line:
I think Johnny's comments apply to several of the RH configuration
tools. They're fairly basic and seem to me to be present just so that
some beancounter can check a box, "Got that: [X]." I have over 20
system-config-* tools installed; only one (system-config-network) seems
useful, and the TUI version of that's broken. The LVM and SELinux tools
might be useful, I've never had their need.
