    Hello? Are you there? Samba???

    I click on samba applet, and it shows 'starting samba', but no window.

    All samba packages are installed except php-pear-auth, and swat.

    Ideas?

    You can try system-config-samba for simple configurations.

    If it's not there,

    Do a

    yum -y install system-config-samba

    You can also install swat for more advanced configurations or edit the config file by using vi directly.

    You can test the config file using

    testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf

    Thanks felarin...

    I tried swat a few minutes ago. Didn't see anything I recognized or liked. Once I get total local configuration, and settings manipulation familiarity, then I probably won't install it anyway.

    Nothing to do.
    [root@localhost ~]# yum -y install system-config-samba
    Loaded plugins: protectbase, refresh-packagekit
    0 packages excluded due to repository protections
    Setting up Install Process
    Parsing package install arguments
    Package system-config-samba-1.2.67-3.fc10.noarch already installed and latest version
    Nothing to do
    [root@localhost ~]#

    ???

    What's the remove command, to remove then re-install?

    If it was installed using yum,

    yum remove [package name]

    To check what's installed on your system using yum

    yum list installed

    if it was just a manually installed rpm installed with the rpm command and not yum localinstall,

    then

    rpm -e [package name]

    To reinstall,

    yum install [package name]

    or rpm -ivh [rpm package name]

    And

    You're welcome
