Ok decided to try to network my xp machine to this fedora machine just for the thrill of it.
Finally decided samba wasn't installed yet even though there was a conf file for it so installed it with yum so now smb is in services and running. looked at several tutorials for using it and decided maybe I needed to find some tutorials for the tutorials:disgust:
So am reading in my book and it recommends using swat to configure it.but it says in order to use it first you must turn it on by typing at root chkconfig swat on and then restarting xinetd.
so I type chkconfig swat on like it suggests at the root and it says
Information on service swat: no such file or directory.
This kinda has been my main problem with linux so far as I try to follow a book or tutorial very few of thier commands or suggestions seem to work the way they say they will.
and of course going to localhost:901 produces nothing.
As far as I can tell swat is supposed to be part of the samba package isn't it ( if i have samba I have swat??) its hard telling instructions and details are never very explicit.
