What is 'reinitialising'?
When i go into mcc/server configuration/samba i am told that samba is not installed (this happens EVERY time) and to click 'ok' to install. I then have to setup samba services, workgroup and banner - that is what i mean by reinitialising! Before doing this, i cannot use linneighborhood or komba2 to browse my local network. > > > Will this be fixed in rc3? > > What? Webmin? Last time I tried webmin it was set for /etc/samba/smb.conf I did a fresh install of webmin and the smb.conf was pointing to /etc/smb.conf, not etc/samba/smb.conf.
