Best thing I've found for samba is using swat, it comes with RedHat, isn't usually installed by default, but you can check, do a rpm -q samba-swat to see if it is, if not install it from the cd (2nd I think) rpm -Uvh whatevertheswatpackagenameis.rpm
Edit /etc/xinetd.d/swat Change it from disable = yes to no Add your local subnet to the only_from line, i.e. instead of 127.0.0.1 put 192.168.1.0 for all hosts on the 192.168.1 subnet. restart xinetd: /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart now you should be able to point your webbrowser at http://nameofsambaserver:901 or use ip number if you don't have any form of name resolution. Login as root and then you can do funky webadmin things. I always set it as USER security in the globals section, turn encrypt passwords on and update encrypted, should then start working with the 2k/xp boxes after a restart of smbd.
