It is very easy actually. Just select server, smb and you are on the
way. There's a config file /etc/smb.conf that needs to be configured
but that's it. (OK, it can be tricky to configure but there are lot of
examples around.) I turn NT's into RH servers as PDC. I can send you a
c*nfig example, though what you really want to do is buy a book and
have on hand.
