Networking :: Starting samba in console

Hi there,

Who can give me the command line in console to start samba server ?

smbd start &
nmbd start &

Thank you.
What the & means?

It means, "Start this program and run it in the background"

Normally, the command prompt and shell script interpreter will continue to execute a command until it is finished running and ends. It then moves on to the next command in the list.

So when you add the "&" sign at the end, it starts up smbd and then immediately moves on and start up nmbd and then moves on again.

Although in the case of daemons, it's usually not necessary since most will run in the background by default =o)
