Samba provides file and print services to all manner of
SMB/CIFS clients, including the numerous versions of
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Samba configuration
file is smb.conf:

A nice writeup :

hxxp://thegoldenear.org/toolbox/unices/samba-3-pdc-print-server-debian-etch.html

basically SAMBA is use to share the files between linux to
windows. 


firstly installed the require rpm for samba,
like this :-- yum install samba -y
              yum install samba-swat -y

then open samba file under /etc dir,
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
and enter your share path,valid user.
Ex.  comment = windows sharing
     path = path/your/share/directory
     valid users = surendra
     writable = yes
     browseable = yes


then type testparm for code testing.

then give the password to smb users :-
smbpasswd -a surendra

and finally restart the service of samba:-

/etc/init.d/smb start
chkconfig smb on    ( for permanent on)

samba is samba.its build with 5 characters.those are:-
1>>S
2>>A
3>>M
4>>B
5>>A
can you believe the samba is build 5 character but its
true.This is technology.

configuration file of samba:-
--------------------------------
vi computer/folder/samba file
and it will work without any trabel.its good one.
thanks and hope all of you got it....
