Samba Command line

[cdhgold]

I'm using Redhat 9 with Samba services running. I used the GUI tools in GNOME to set it up but am still learning how to manage things command line. How can i go about managing my samba config including fileand printer sharing via the command line and not the GUI?

I'll agree with Doogee. Edit the smb.conf file, under /etc/samba/smb.conf and then restart samba. I don't know however where the startup scripts for samba and other daemons are installed in redHat 9 though. I believe that something like:

Code: [Select]

would do the job.
