Mike, I need both to access files on the Windows machines in our office and to give them access to files on my machine. I got the Samba-client package from the Redhat site, but I can't figure out how to get the server. When I try to install the RPM's from the cd's I eventually wind up with a module dependency that can't be resolved with the cd I have in the drive. Since I am using BRLTTY and don't have reliable sighted helpers, this message definitely belongs on this list.
