What file to start up smbd upon reboot?

[Gregory Locke]

Hi all:
I have an Itanium rx6600. I want smbd to start up automatically upon reboot. Which file should I edit to include it?

Thanks

Shalom,

/etc/rc.config.d/samba

Set the first variable to 1.

Hi Gregory:

You can generally find the answer to questions like this quickly once you understand the startup/shutdown model.

The manpages for 'rc(1M)' give a very good overview.

The name given to the files in the associated directories '/etc/rc.config.d', '/sbin/init.d' and '/sbin/rc?.d' are usually enough to enable you to track something down:

# ls -l /sbin/rc?.d /sbin/init.d /etc/rc.config.d|grep samba

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 1109 Mar 23 2006 samba
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 2035 Mar 23 2006 samba
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Apr 17 11:57 K100samba -> /sbin/ini
t.d/samba
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 18 Apr 17 11:57 S900samba -> /sbin/ini
t.d/samba

Regards!
