xsmbrowser-3.4.0-2mdk.noarch.rpm

INSTALL FAQ
============================
Before you read the rest of this, just try executing "xsmbrowser" to see
if it works. Since xsmbrowser is an expectk script, there is nothing to
compile. If you run into any problems, read on ...

Installation of xSMBrowser should be very simple. xSMBrowser is just a
SAMBA Gui that uses TCL/TK and EXPECT. Rest assure, probably 90% of you
(especially if you have Linux) already have Samba, Tcl/Tk, and Expect. If
not, you can download Samba from www.samba.org, and Tcl/Tk and Expect from
www.scriptics.com.

Next, you must config Samba and tell xSMBrowser where Expect is installed.

Setting up Samba
----------------------------
If you have Redhat or another respectable distribution of Unix, then Samba
may already be setup. One way to check is to issue "ps -A" (as root), and
if the programs "smbd" and "nmbd" are running, then you're okay.

I leave customizing Samba up to you. The Samba documentation is usually
installed at /usr/doc/samba. Keep in mind that Samba is a huge program
with several options, so read carefully.

Where is expectk?
----------------------------
xSMBrowser assumes that expectk is installed in /usr/bin. If not, open up
xsmbrowser with your favorite text editor and change the first line of the
program to your location, e.g.
> #!/usr/bin/expectk -f
 to
> #!/NEW_LOCATION/expectk -f

What happened to the pictures and icons?
----------------------------
Upon starting xSMBrowser, you may discover that it isn't using any of its
icons or pictures (see screen shot at webpage). This is probably because
it can't find them. The RPM installs the pixmaps to
/usr/share/pixmaps/xsmbrowser/, and the tar puts them in a folder called
"pixmaps". You can specify where they are located in xSMBrowser's setup.

Where are some program icons?
----------------------------
Two icons are provided (xsmbrowser.xpm and xsmbrowser-mini.xpm), and
should be located in the same directory as the other pictures and icons.
