Samba
Samba is a software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. It is freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based clients.

Samba RPM Packages
The location of RedHat packages above is incorrect (/pub/samba/ does not exist on samba.anu.edu.au). So far I was unable to find Samba 2.0.0 binary RPM package (and there is not enough free disk space on my home box to compile it). It'd be very nice if someone provided a working URL.
Samba 2.0 rock!
I will thank the Samba Team for the great work!
You make my life much easier!
