Running Servers Part V
At this point, the shared file systems should be available to the Samba client computers (Windows 9x,
Windows NT, Windows 2000, OS/2, Linux, and so on) that have access to your Linux Samba server.
Before you try that, however, you can check your Samba configuration.
Checking Your Samba Setup with SWAT
From the SWAT window, select the STATUS button.
From this window, you can restart your smbd and nmbd processes. Likewise, you can see lists of
active connections, active shares, and open files. (The preferred way to start the smbd and nmbd
daemons is to set up the smb service to start automatically. Type chkconfig smb on to set the
service to start at boot time.)
Working with Samba Files and Commands
Although you can set up Samba through the Samba Server Configuration window or SWAT, many
administrators prefer to edit the /etc/samba/smb.
