I am not sure about all those items and it is hard to judge how long it will
take, as it depends on how your other systems are setup. However to achieve
networking you run a program called Samba, which serves SMB share the NT way
(and does it better than NT, they say). If you run Red Hat 5.0 + you already
ahve it on your machine.
Type:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb status
It might return:
smbd (pid 11568 8340) is running...
nmbd (pid 11577) is running...
This means you have Samba running and only need to configure and restart it.
The samba man page is very good. You can also try: www.samba.org
Took me first time about a day to install, but I was a newbie to networking so
I had a seep learning curve.
After that about an hour every time I did it.
Hope that help
Regards
Bernhard
