Hi marcus, you are right samba is what you are looking for. Samba interacts with Windows through the so called Common Internet File System (CIFS), so you will be able to share your printers, authenticate, use network services and much more. Take a look at google to find the source file.

SWAT is the Samba Web Administration Tool. You can use it to configure your smb.conf file. Less manual hassle for you! :-P
