There is also something called swat, if the portmapper has this port i think it
is 901 set to swat, you can got ot your web browser in GNOME and type, your
machines IP/name:901 and get the Samba java style web page configuration
manager, I think this is common to all Samba versions, not just RH 6.2 (which is
what I am running)  This means you can configure Samba on your machines across a
network (check security issues if your network is accessible by a broad band
internet connection).  You can add users and start/stop the samba dameons!
