732 Part V . Running Servers . Debian To use Samba in Debian, you must install the samba and smbclient packages using apt-get. Then start the Samba service by running the appropriate scripts from the /etc/init.d directory, as follows: # apt-get install samba samba-common smbclient swat # /etc/init.d/samba start # /etc/init.d/smb-client start . Gentoo With Gentoo, you need to have configured net-fs support into the kernel to use Samba server features. Installing the net-fs package (emerge net-fs) should get the required packages. To start the service, run rc-update and start the service immediately: # emerge samba # rc-update add samba default # /etc/init.d/samba start . Fedora Core and other Red Hat Linux systems You need to install the samba, samba-client, samba-common, and optionally, the system-config-samba and samba-swat packages to use Samba in Fedora. You can then start Samba using the service and chkconfig commands as follows: # service smb start # chkconfig smb on The commands and configuration files are the same on most Linux systems using Samba. The Samba project itself comes with a Web-based interface for administering Samba called Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT). For someone setting up Samba for the first time, SWAT is a good way to get it up and running. If your Linux installation does not have help documents for Samba available, consult the documentation on the Samba project home page (www.samba.org). Also, check the extensive help information that comes with SWAT. Configuring Samba with SWAT In addition to offering an extensive interface to Samba options, SWAT also comes with an excellent help facility. And if you need to administer Samba from another computer, SWAT can be configured to be remotely accessible and secured by requiring an administrative login and password. Turning on the SWAT Service Before you can use SWAT, you must do some configuration. The first thing you must do is turn on the SWAT service, which is done differently in different Linux distributions. Note
From our experience, we are can tell you that you can find a reliable and cheap webhost service at Java Web Hosting services.
