Ok, yes that is a common problem when trying to do stuff between two machines like that. Now returning to the list of commands to get some help going here... (Bill please include the actual command line you run and the full output from here on if possible) They were: rpm -qa | grep samba You need some more samba pkgs than what you posted but we will return to that. rpm -qa | grep yum If the yum pkg is installed it will simplify things far as installing stuff. Once we insure all needed samba pkgs are installed. And we check to see if the needed system-config pkg is there: rpm -qa | grep system-config We are looking for system-config-samba If it is not there, no problems... we can use yum to get it. Lets establish these things now then either get them or use them. Once we move to using system-config-samba you are a short ways from having a working samba setup.
