open a terminal or use text mode and then "man smb" (w/o quotes) .  I have a
small book (all 600pgs ish) called "Samba Black Book"  Written by Dominic
Baines and Published by Coriolis Open Press.  It has TONS of info on samba and
also comes with a CD in the back of it.

Hope this helps
Derek

If your using GNOME as primary x session, there are a couple of great
programs out there.  The man pages are a good help (I use xman straight from
the gnome desktop- not sure if it's RH specific utility).  I've used
Gnosamba (from Red Hat (RH) site in RPM form with great success on our
intranet running windoze boxes for two way directory "mounting" (i.e save
and read from either machine as if it was a local volume/network directory)
Another great application is LinNeighborhood - now this is for you Linux box
to browse SMB shared directory/drives and then mount them.

GnoSamba is a GUI (gtk widgets) interface to the smb.conf  file - very easy
espcially if your just mucking around trying to get the feel for smb command
line structure.

LinNeighborhood is a god send for rapidly moving files back and forth
between disparate boxes.  My win xx machines see it as a network drive as
does my RH 6.2 Linux box.

you may want to try www.gnome.org and search the download section there for
it.  I can't recall exactly where I got it but most likely from
www.redhat.com  or the US mirored website http://us4.samba.org

hope this helps

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!
