Samba Share Setup

Following are the steps that i followed to setup a simple drive share on RHEL 5 system.The system did not had the YUM configured with repos, so had to download and install them using YUM to bypass dependency issues. YUM used to prompt me with the missing dependency till they were not fullfilled, i started with samba3-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm, downloaded the rest later.

1. Downloaded the packages from 'ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/tested/rhel/5/x86_64/'
Packages :
- samba3-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm
- libwbclient0-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm
- samba3-client-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm

2. Installed packages
[root@QAV5 samba]# yum --nogpgcheck localinstall samba3-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm libwbclient0-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm samba3-client-3.2.15-40.el5.x86_64.rpm
