I tried to follow the procedure here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba#Configuration
The samba installation seemed succesful:
Code: [root@mythtv ~]# pacman -S samba
warning: samba-3.4.5-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (1): samba-3.4.5-3
Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 67.92 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [#####################] 100%
(1/1) upgrading samba [#####################] 100% Not so successful with gamin: Code: [root@mythtv ~]# pacman -S gamin
gamin package not found, searching for group...
error: 'gamin': not found in sync db Not sure why or the consquences or if it really matters. Any insight is appreciated. Copied and configured samba.conf: Code: cp /etc/samba/smb.conf.default /etc/samba/smb.conf Code: [myth]
comment = Be Careful when deleting
path = /myth
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
share modes = no Tried to start samba but failed: Code: [root@mythtv ~]# sudo /etc/rc.d/samba start
:: Starting Samba Server [FAIL]
Any suggestions as to where I went astray would be highly appreciated. _________________ R7.3: 0.22.20091023-1, Hauppauge PVR-500 (Philips FQ1236A MK4), Gigabyte Gigabyte EG45M-UD2H, E5200 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GEFORCE 256MB

I think the problem is you are using init commands instead of runit.
Instead of /etc/rc.d/samba/start I think it sv samba start or something like that. Not at my box so can't check for sure.

Code: sudo sv start smbd should start samba on LinHES.

I followed the same set of instructions that gatorback did. (on a fresh install of R6.02)
gamin didn't work for me either.
I've got it configured enough that I can start samba manually, with this:
Code: sudo /etc/rc.d/samba start However, it won't start at boot when it's added to the DAEMONS line in rc.conf. Running Code: sudo sv start smbd gives me: Code: fail: smbd: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist Looks as if the LinHES way of making samba run on boot involves Code: sudo add_service.sh smbd
Edit: Of course, only afterwards do I see there's a simple menu option for all of this.
Service Menu > LinHES Configuration > Advanced Settings.
Then tick the Windows Sharing tickbox.

Start to finish of my SAMBA install. Removed the responses. I'm not sure I need to stop and restart, but figured it couldn't hurt. I had to rebuild the machine a few times today so figured I would post what I had saved in a file for everyone to use. 
Code:
tigelane:~ tigelane$ ssh root@tvbox1
root@tvbox1's password:
[root@Tvbox1 ~]# pacman -S samba
[root@Tvbox1 ~]# cd /etc
[root@Tvbox1 etc]# cd samba
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# cp smb.conf.default smb.conf
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# vi smb.conf
Add the following:
[myth]
path = /myth
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
share modes = no
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# sudo add_service.sh smbd
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# sudo sv start smbd
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# smbpasswd -a mythtv
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# sudo sv stop smbd
[root@Tvbox1 samba]# sudo sv start smbd

I am just curious, why did you need to install Samba on a new installation of R6, my understanding is that it is included and you only need to go into the Service Menu to turn it on.
The only reason I could think of why you would want to install Samba is if you are doing an upgrade. Could you please clarify why your installation Samba when it is included in the base system?
Thanks

I had thought it was included too, but when I was doing the install I looked for the /etc/samba directory and it was not there, so I installed it. Maybe it's in a different directory with the R6 install, but when it's not where I was expecting, I assumed it was not installed and did it myself.

I just looked at my R6.03 install and that directory is there. You may find that the directory is not there until you turn it on in the Service Menu.

That sounds very plausible. I have another machine to install in a few weeks. I'll check it better next time and update the thread.

UPDATE: LinHES 7.2: Quote: Service Menu: LinHES Configuration => Advanced Settings => enable "windows sharing" Nice. Samba is installed by default. I am revisiting this topic because I needed to add an additional share (/data/srv/httpd/htdocs): so that I could distribute files through the webserver. This involves restarting the Samba. These service commands work for Restarting SAMBA in Linhes 6.02: Code: [root@mythtv samba]# sv restart smbd
ok: run: smbd: (pid 7711) 0s
[root@mythtv samba]# sv status smbd
run: smbd: (pid 7711) 11s Below is some of the other commands I looked up and tried (unsuccesfully). I was able stop samba with this command: Code: [root@mythtv samba]# /etc/rc.d/samba stop
:: Stopping Samba Server [DONE]
Starting was not successful: Code: [root@mythtv samba]# /etc/rc.d/samba start
:: Starting Samba Server [FAIL]
[root@mythtv samba]# /etc/rc.d/fam start
:: Starting Portmap [FAIL]
:: Starting File Alteration Monitor [FAIL]
ERROR: PORTMAP is not running
[root@mythtv samba]# ps -e | grep samba I tried the suggestions above: Code: [root@mythtv samba]# sv start smbd
ok: run: smbd: (pid 29449) 300s
[root@mythtv samba]# ps -e | grep samba
[root@mythtv samba]# I wonder if I am running two version of Samba concurrently. _________________ R7.3: 0.22.20091023-1, Hauppauge PVR-500 (Philips FQ1236A MK4), Gigabyte Gigabyte EG45M-UD2H, E5200 2.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, NVIDIA GEFORCE 256MB
