map unix directory to Windows 2003 server

Hi,
I am new unix,

In the unix server we have two folders
1. /home/directory/sub1/
2. /home/directory/sub2/

Under each sub we have some other subfolders also.

Here my question is

I want to create sub2(including subfolder of this) as share drive to windows 2003 server.

Can any one help me regarding this step by step process?

If any one reply to this as early as possible its more appriciatable.

Thanks alot in advance.

Its just installation and configuration.
Both depend heavily on what your system landscape looks like:
* what flavor of unix you use (installation on AIX may be different to HP/UX,...)
* how your windows network is configured (domain or workgroup,...)
Click on "learn samba" at the site you get to when you follow the link in my last post. There are step by step guides for lots of possible configurations.

Thanks you very much cero and admin_xor for replying to this post.

I am completly new to this.

My unix flavor is CentOS Unix and windows network is domain based.

Here I have got some information like using SMB protocol we can do this,but I could not get much more information on exactly how to mount the one directory (UNIX ) to Windows server.

My concern is : Unix directory (specific folder only ) shold mapped to Windows server and from windows side,windows server is having SQL server DB . we have some application running on DB server ,those applications should access the UNIX directory files with out using any specific User ID and PWD just like normal drive in Windows server. Could you please give step by step process how to do this? and What are the risks/challenges I may need to be face if I implement this?

Thanks in advance.

There is also many other interesting manuals in the official CentOS docs Smilie
