Starting And Stopping Samba; Configuring A Samba Server - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - ADMINISTRATION Administration Manual

DC
A domain controller (DC) is a server that handles accounts in domain. For data
replication, additional domain controllers are available in one domain.

24.2 Starting and Stopping Samba

You can start or stop the Samba server automatically (during boot) or manually. Starting
and stopping policy is a part of the YaST Samba server configuration described in
Section 24.3.1, "Configuring a Samba Server with YaST"
To stop or start running Samba services with YaST, use System > System Services
(Runlevel) and check winbind, smb, and nmb. From a command line, stop services re-
quired for Samba with rcsmb stop && rcnmb stop and start them with rcnmb
start && rcsmb start; rcsmb cares about winbind if needed.

later starts, the Samba Server Configuration dialog appears.
The Samba Installation dialog consists of two steps and optional detailed settings:
