I am running Mandrake 8 and am trying to install SAMBA 2.2 following the directions everything seems to install, but it doesnt work! SWAT isnt there among other things and I cannot get samba to run correctly. When I revert back to 2.0.7 works fine but cant use it as PDC. Can someone A.) help me get SAMBA 2.2 installe and running correctly & B.) Help me get it setup as a PDC?

I work exclusively with Linux Caldera, but Samba is Samba. First try the caldera.com web site for solutions, it's good. In Mandrake do you have the Webmin Utility? This graphic interface provides a powerful tool to configuring Samba. If SWAT is notshowing up after install then it is possible that your kernel does not support the newest version. The 2.4 Linux Kernel is available now. The previous issues ran Samba just fine, so I need to know how uld your version is. Setting up the Samba Serveras primary Domain Controller is straight forward, but be sure that there is no competition from NT machines. Also crossing a router can be a bit problematic, not impossible. I have 7 Linux Samba Servers at different sites and they are great and trouble free. You are welcome to e-mail me directly with samba questions at gfrost@glolinuear.com. I would be happy to help and reccomend some other sources.

Keep up the good fight, you will win!

I don't know much about Mandrake 8. But i'm using Redhat 6.2,7.0 and 7.1. Samba work fine on it. To unable SWAT try this

./configure --with-pam
make
make install

so this will help to install the SWAT support file to your Linux. Than you need to modify 3 files under /etc

rc.local
services
inetd.conf

If you need more help go to http://www.samba.org. Here you can find many documentation and download files for Samba.Hope this one help you..
