Public file sharing on redhat

Hello,

I want to share my folder on redhat like 192.168.x.x\share
But I can't use 3rd party packets/application or something like that.
And I want to see shared folder on windows2003 server command with \\192.168.x.x\share.

Basicly I need to know what should I do step by step.

I don't want to use samba or something like this packets.

Can I share manually to editing local files?

for example
HTML Code:
/etc/fstab

Short answer: no
Long answer: No, because
  1. /etc/fstab is only for locally mounted filesystems, not for filesystems made available to other computers
  2. the Linux kernel by itself does not support making filesystems available other than by NFS

However, what definition for "3rd party software" do you have? Samba is part of the default RHEL repositories, same as vi(m), OpenSSH, Perl, ...

I want to install samba but I don't know which packets are I need.
Redhat is already installed some samba files but below packets aren't related to samba service. How can I find neccessary samba rpm packets and reason I need how many files?
Most important thing is when I search samba rpm files, I don't know what I got to do.

I am waitting your kindly recommendation. Smilie

HTML Code:
# rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-common-3.0.33-3.28.el5
samba-client-3.0.33-3.28.el5

The package you're looking for is probably called "samba-server". Check the repository with yum for it.

Also, they are called "Packages" not packets. A packet has a different meaning
