Problems with samba

[Fons]

I have just installed Sabayon 5.3 and finished updating however I can't seem to get samba to work. the smbmount and smbfs commands don't work, they report back with command not found... Help please.

make sure samba and samba-client are installed for use of samba.

Also make sure samba is added to the default runlevel:

Code: Select all

$ su
Password:
# rc-status | grep samba
# rc-update show -v | grep samba
                samba |                                               
# rc-update add samba default
* service samba added to runlevel default
# rc-update show -v | grep samba
                samba |                                        default
#

If you want it to be running now before you reboot, just start the service manually this time only:

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/samba start
* samba -> start: smbd...                                                                                                                                                       [ ok ]
* samba -> start: nmbd...
#

I'm still having problems with this. I get the error Command not found or smbmount not found. Is there just a package I am missing Samba is installed. I am running 5.3 64 G

Not sure, as I don't need it for browsing Samba shares on my home network or for letting others on my home network browse the public Samba shares on my laptop, but perhaps you need the mount-cifs package to be installed:
