Samba Install with RedHat 7.3

[bcsmith100]

I have just installed RedHat Linux 7.3 and now I am trying to install samba. I have run the rpm command to install samba and get a response that samba is already installed.

However when I try to find the samba binary or the /etc/samba directory they are not there!!!!

I am running the command
rpm -ivh *.rpm
where * is the three samba files found on the 7.3 CDROM.

I have read several sites on how to install samba, but I am having some basic trouble getting the files installed so they are no help.

Why is the rpm saying samba is installed, but I can't find anything?

i know there are other ways but if you use kde you can see samba listed in the package manager (under the system menu) then you can see the location of th files from there

In a terminal, or at the command-line, run the following command to see if any Samba RPMs are installed...

rpm -qa | grep samba

The "rpm -qa" lists all the RPMs installed on the system. The "|" is called a pipe, and takes the output of one command and pipes it into the next command. The "grep samba" searches through the piped input, the list of RPMs, and looks for anything with "samba" in it.

Let us know if it turns up anything.

Thanks for the input. It turns out the that problem was that I was doing a rpm on samba*.rpm instead of each rpm by itself. Using the query I figured out that not all of the packages were being installed. I now have Samba installed and I am now working on configuring it.
