Setup Samba from runlevel 3

[RedDragonAkai]

I'm very new to linux.

I need to setup samba on a Fedora Core 2 system that doesn't have a desktop environment, so I only have the console.

Is there a tutorial anywhere that would show me how to set up shares and user accounts from the console?

The Samba Howto on Samba's website is very complete.

Hi RedDragonAkai,

You may want to take a look at this tutorial, or if you do not feel comfortable doing it in command line, install webmin. With webmin you can access that machine from another computer that has a browser (does not matter on which OS) and configure samba using web-based gui interface.

Hope this helps.

Edit: You can use wget to download webmin while working in a command line mode:

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.260.tar.gz
