in RHEL 5 ,we are not able install the pakage as its asking lots of other pakages even its already available.

In Fedora 13 ,Installation was successful.But we struck in DNS configuration.DO we really need to setup DNS to run SAMBA 4 ?

even after configuring dns successfully its not working

we get the following reply for the command smbclient



# smbclient -L localhost -U%

there are 3 ways to install in RHEL
1.purchase the license then you can register and download form redhat
2.setaline is a global license for all the orgnization that allow aging to download for red hat site.
3.Create a local repository (for guys that use the rhel without a license)
Steps:
1.insert the RHEL dvd and navigate to the folder Server
2.install VSFTPD (rpm -ivh vsftpd......)
3.chkconfig vsftpd on
4./etc/init.d/vsftpd start

Copy the folder Server undre to /var/ftp/pub/
install a packege named creatrepo (again rpm -ivh createrpo .....)
run this createrepo -g /var/ftp/pub/Server/repodata/compxml... /var/ftp/pub/server

this will index the entire RPM located in the Folder Server

Next
go to /etc/yum.repos.d
cp rhel.repo server.repo
Example

[base]
name=Srvr1 Server Repository
baseurl=ftpsrv1mydomaincom /pub/Server (fix the syntex i can't upload url yet)
gpgcheck=0

and save

@ root99 - ur replying about yum in a sense...tats not what he is asking.

N sir ur problem i seriously wasnt able to get.Possible you shud check

chkconfig --list smb
and den if 2 3 4 and 5 are off turn dem on

And no der is no need to set up a DNS.Der is never a need to set up a DNS as far a si know.Becoz you hav "vi /etc/hosts" where you can enter the details.
just create your users. can you tell wat all you entered in smb.conf???
