You can use Webmin if you wish , the other choice is SWAT .

Within the FC2 cds you have all the rpms you need in order to run
samba . Take a look bellow :
[root at Magellan root]# rpm -qa | grep samba*
samba-client-3.0.5-2.FC1.1
redhat-config-samba-1.1.4-1
samba-3.0.5-2.FC1.1
samba-common-3.0.5-2.FC1.1
samba-swat-3.0.5-2.FC1.1
Mark ( The problem is that Rick Stevens was my original Master
and i can't really replicate him ) , basically all you need to do is
launch SWAT .
In order to achieve this just check your /etc/services
file for a line like the one bellow :
swat 901/tcp # Samba Web
Administration Tool
Then in /etc/xinetd.d/swat , just make sure that there is a line that
says
disable = no .
Then after your restart xinetd , all you have to do is
#service swat start.
Then swat should be accesible using your browser and giving the
URL :
localhost : 901
If everything has gone well then you must have swat running .
All you need now , is English and it is certain that you speak English .
One last thing , is that it might be usefull if you have common accounts
between Windows and Linux . All i mean is an account in Windows with the
username "Mark" and an account in Linux with the same username .
Samba is offering printer sharing , so you will not have problems with that
either .
