Besides the man pages, you should also look at the SAMBA homepage: http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/ For a quick and dirty start, make up a reasonable configuration file (/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf), then run "smbd" and "nmbd" as root. Look at the other programs in /usr/local/samba/bin and then try accessing the server from a windows box on your LAN. Caveat: I installed SAMBA straight from the distribution and it wanted to be in /usr/local/samba. I don't know if the ports/package are installed in the same place, the samba binaries may be in /usr/local/bin. - Mike
