Title: Adding Linux [and Windows] to the network
Post by: deadly7 on May 28, 2006, 02:40:52 PM
Well, I don't know how to do this for Windows either.. so any help with that would be appreciated too.

How do I get it so that my computer running Slackware 10.2 with whatever kernel it came with on the CD is part of my network and I can simply transfer files over at the speed my router lets it?

Samba.

So I basically just run Samba on Linux and I can access Windows?

Yes.  Make sure to put Samba on the same workgroup that your Windows Machines are running on.

Uh.. Samba doesn't have a Slackware binary.  What do I download?

You download the source and compile it...

http://us5.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.22.tar.gz (I think)

Thanks rabbit..
But when I do install it (su root , login with password, #installpkg samba-3.0.20b-i486-1.tgz) it says that it's launching the install script but it never does it.  wtf?

wget http://us5.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.22.tar.gz
tar -xvvzf samba-3.0.22.tar.gz
cd samba-3.0.22
./configure
make
sudo make install

$su
Password:
#wget http://us5.samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.22.tar.gz
#tar -xvzf samba-3.0.22.tar.gz
#cd samba-3.0.22 && ./configure || make || make install

Consolidate the steps!

Why the hell are you piping the results of configure and make? :P

# cd samsa-3.0.22; ./configure; make; make install; logout

Are you using csh or something? The only way I could see that working is if it did the step following the one before '||' if the one before '||' reported success, which sounds really neat in my mind.

I do it in bash, and it works just fine.  If ./configure errors, make doesn't run, so make install doesn't run.

You meant to use && instead of ||, I think.

joe@foobar:~ $ echo 1 && echo 2 && echo 3

No... for him || doesn't continue on errors.
