I’ve got a few problems/questions.
For my school project I have to configure a Samba server. I chose to do this in OpenSUSE 12.2 but in school we use 10.3.
Now, everything I learned (I’m talking about bash commands) seem to be working a bit different in 12.2.
For example, I just installed the Samba software and I want to check if the service is loaded so I do this with ‘chkconfig’. No problems there except ‘smbfs’ isn’t in the list. Only ‘smb’ and ‘swat’.
Next thing, I want to start the service smb by typing ‘rcsmb start’ and it says ‘redirecting to systemctl’. What does this mean? Can’t I see the output like in 10.3?
Also, can anyone link me a good tutorial on Samba configuration? i’ve found some good ones but the more I have, the more I can learn

Indeed. You should install 10.3 at home too, if possible inside vmware
or virtual box, so that you can practice the same way as in school.
There are more differences that I can remember.
That, or convince your school that they are using obsolete material :-p

No. It uses systemd instead of systemv, it is very different.
