At least, that's how I installed them.
They are included in the package, but there is no "Samba setup" required. Setting up Samba implies running smbd and nmbd to provide services. Any search of the Net about Samba will find plenty of info on allowing Winusers to get data from *nix boxes. Pointing him toward Samba just wouldn't get him where he wants to go. Tony -- Anthony E.
