Dustin, Thanks for the reply.
Don't have time to run your suggested commands this morning, but I know that when I ran 'service smb start' before, it would fail stating that "smbd can't be found". Likewise for nmbd. Like I mentioned before, the smbd and nmbd binaries aren't being installed. The smbclient binary would install just fine, but I didn't try running it. Will try when I get to work. Any recommendations how I would debug the installation of the Samba package? Is yum just a front-end for rpm?
