Since you're running RedHat 6.1, you can just install the Samba RPMs from
the CD (if they weren't installed when you installed RedHat).
SWAT, the Samba Web Administration Tool, is very good. It's one of the
only graphical or web based configurators I prefer over vi.
Make sure you have a line in /etc/inetd.conf like:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat
Restart inetd if necessary (killall -HUP inetd). Then point your
favorite web browswer at http://localhost:901 and login as root.
You can start Samba with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start". Running tksysv
(the run-level editor) will let you start it each time you boot.
