You may want to install webmin first before editing the flat files by hand. I am pretty sure webmin is in a yum/apt repository, but should also have a suitable rpm at www.webmin.com. This should be a current link : http://www.webmin.com/cgi- bin/redirect.cgi/install/http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.220-1.noarch.rpm Once installed you can manage your machine including samba using a web browser.
