You can check your configuration file using the testparm and testprns commands. The smbstatus command will tell you which computers are currently connected to your shared resources. Using the nmblookup command, you can query for NetBIOS names (the names used to identify host computers in Samba). Although Samba uses the NetBIOS service to share resources with SMB clients, the underlying network must be configured for TCP/IP. Although other SMB hosts can use TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX/SPX to transport data, Samba for Linux supports only TCP/IP. Messages are carried between host computers with TCP/IP and are then handled by NetBIOS. Getting and installing Samba Although not installed with all installation groups in Red Hat Linux, Samba is available on the second Red Hat CD-ROM (CD-2).

An rpm that is more recent than the one on the Red Hat CD may be available. (Follow the download links from the Samba Web site to obtain the Samba rpm.) A lot of documentation comes with Samba. Before you start trying to configure Samba, read the README file (probably located in /usr/share/doc/samba*). It provides a good overview of the SMB protocol and Samba.
