Thanks debian, When I tried the following command
installpkg

I get:

root@Admin:~# dir
Desktop/        Google/  firefox-installer/  gftp-2.0.18.tar.gz  loadlin16c.zip  samba-3.0.11.tar.gz
FTP\ Software/  Mail/    gftp-2.0.18/        loadlin16c.txt      samba-3.0.11/
root@Admin:~# cd sambe-3.0.11
-bash: cd: sambe-3.0.11: No such file or directory
root@Admin:~# cd samba-3.0.11
root@Admin:~/samba-3.0.11# installpkg
Usage: installpkg [options] package_name

Installpkg is used to install a .tgz package like this:
   installpkg xf_bin.tgz

options:      -warn (warn if files will be overwritten, but do not install)
              -root /mnt (install someplace else, like /mnt)
              -infobox (use dialog to draw an info box)
              -menu (confirm package installation with a menu, unless
                    the priority is [required] or ADD)
              -ask (used with menu mode: always ask if a package should be
                   installed regardless of what the package's priority is)
              -priority ADD|REC|OPT|SKP  (provide a priority for the entire
                    package list to use instead of the priority in the
                    tagfile)
              -tagfile /somedir/tagfile (specify a different file to use
                    for package priorities.  The default is "tagfile" in
                    the package's directory)

root@Admin:~/samba-3.0.11# cd
root@Admin:~# installpkg samba-3.0.11.tar.gz
Cannot install samba-3.0.11.tar.gz: package does not end in .tgz
root@Admin:~#

Is there another command I can run to install samba.

Thanks.

At first I was trying to install samba then I found that its allready installed in my system(I use slackware)..

Then I have installed the GUI:

http://ksambakdeplugin.sourceforge.net/

./configure
make
make install

... Ok

1. What command do I need to run samba(GUI)?

2. I have read some manual and it says i should open

/etc/samba/

pico smb.conf

and thats what I get:

^G Get Help      ^O WriteOut      ^R Read File     ^Y Prev Pg       ^K Cut Text      ^C Cur Pos
^X Exit          ^J Justify       ^W Where is      ^V Next Pg       ^U UnCut Text    ^T To Spell

that file is empty....... !!!!

I would really appreciate your help, I need to map all my files which I have on my server in order to go back to work.

Thanks.
