How do I install the unix extensions samba?


How do I install the unix extensions samba? Do I need to download the VMWare workstation to install the unix extensions samba, will that help me with the book catalog database? Do I need to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation or can I find my way via the path given to me by my friend? To start installing should I be launching the program prior and then start installing? I am so confused. Will you tell me one more thing, do I have to click on the new virtual machine?

Download the Samba package and unzip it. Locate the path that Samba is unzipped to, and the double click the smbsetup.cmd. When your command prompt window closes, indicating that your installation has completed, double click on the cygsetup.cmd. Restart the server. Since this is very much technically adding one third party server role, restarting your server which allows the services and the protocols to just start as cleanly as it is possible. In this case, the Cygnus and the SMB services will then start. Return to the Samba directory and then double click on the start_daemons.cmd option. Open the command prompt and then type the smbclient -L localhost -U guest%password option verbatim. You should then be given information about your active Samba fileserver, indicating that it is now totally working.
