Hi,
I am currently on page two of the NHF for using Samba software. In the NHF, the author makes mention of a file called the inet.conf file in the /etc directory. I do not have this file or any other file that is close to what was specified. I was wondering if I should create this file, or is it okay to omit it?

Most likely you are using xinetd.d instead of the older inetd. xinetd.d usually consists of the directory /etc/xinetd.d and a file called xinetd.conf. Do a search on google for Samba and xinetd. I will see if I can find an example.

If you're using a newer Linux distro, MaxWave is probably right. inetd has been replaced by xinetd, and the Samba configuration for the corresponding /etc/xinetd.conf file is different. Follow the installation and configuration instructions on this site (http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/index.html) to find out how to configure xinetd.conf.
