Yes, you might want to use something like samba-swat. Modify your /etc/xinetd.d/swat file and change the line "disable = yes" to "disable = no". Next, reload xinetd, such as "service xinetd restart". Next, go to your browser and enter 127.0.0.1:901 in the address bar. From there it's much easier to modify your smb configuration, then stop/start/restart your samba (smb) daemon. Good luck.

Also make sure that you have a linux user with the same name as your windoze one and that they have been added to the samba users database with: # smbpasswd -a username
