Using yum I got most of it but I cannot find redhat-config-samba. 

[root at Godzilla root]# rpm -qa | grep samba*
samba-client-3.0.9-1.fc2
samba-common-3.0.9-1.fc2
samba-3.0.9-1.fc2
samba-swat-3.0.9-1.fc2
[root at Godzilla root]#

Sure. English I speak. Samba I don't. Now I'll have to see if I can
get this to share some directories and the printer.
