Everyone:
I have two computers, one desktop and one laptop. I did clean installs on both. In the process, I retired a third computer that had been running samba without incident for years.
Today I can get samba running on both machines. But: I have to execute two commands:
$ sudo /sbin/smbd -D $ sudo /sbin/nmbd -D
by hand, in a terminal (Konsole), every time I start or restart either computer.
The system-config-services app fails to note that smbd or nmbd are even available for starting.
How do I get those two daemons to start automatically, so that I don't have to type those two commands every time? Because until I do, I have no file-sharing capability. (I have yet another computer on my network: a dedicated Windows box that I use for video capturing. I've said on other threads I am not satisfied with the video-capture and DVD authoring support Linux provides, and note that Linux does not support Blu-ray, in playback or especially in burning. So samba is a must for me.)
