Jim, Try looking at Red Hat's site for any updated docs relating to samba. I am running a Red Hat 7.1 machine setup with samba and there are some interesting changes. First, samba is now in the /usr/share directory with the executables residing in /usr/sbin. Second, all the .conf files related to samba are in /etc/samba. You'll see what I mean if you do a "locate samba |less" at the command line. Hope that helps!

I'm using rpm -Uv samba-2.2.1a-4.i386.rpm i have also tried installing the samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat manually to be sure the the samba-2.2.1a-4.i386.rpm installed anything it required and still no /usr/local/samba directory. I do not know where to go from here as the linuxdocs.org assumes your package is installed and ready to configure. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
