Thread: Setting up Samba on Ubuntu Server 11.04 - No Config File

-

alright, first issue: have installed samba such:

code:
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
this completes successfully. go edit config file
code:
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
, , "samba" directory not there. nothing in /etc/ remotely looks samba or smbd. there appears no config file, how can edit samba? how can config file back?

here's more information believe caused problem. had server running samba last year on ubuntu 10.10, , fine. shut down on summer, , started using again. upgrade entire server 11.04, few days ago. looked @ samba , decided didn't need it, removed it. used --purge option remove server.

however, didn't delete config files,
code:
rm -rf /etc/samba
rid of files related samba.

now, want use again. installed samba, /etc/samba directory has not been built. tried restarting service, , rebooting server. directory not being made... can't config file. how can fix this?

smb.conf doesn't come "samba" package. comes "samba-common" since smb.conf used in both server , client side of samba.

might want install "samba-common-bin" while you're @ it.
