Testing software

[Pianoman216]

Hey guys. So I got Samba configured (thanks to devils_casper), all the binaries built and installed. I'm pretty sure I've done everything, but I want to be sure. Is there a way to test it? How do I actually run the program?

hi

if i'm right you compiled samba from source.
A question: why?

if you installed the program you it install an init script to /etc/init.d directory
which called samba

try this

/etc/init.d/samba start

or start it from the install dir
