“One of the features that makes SUSE relatively simple
to manage is that all of the graphical configuration tools are
gathered together in the YaST Control Center, (Yet another Setup
Tool).

“You can start YaST from the Computer Menu on your task bar, if
you are not authenticated as root you will be prompted for the root
password. By selecting Network Services > Samba Server you will
start SAMBA configuration tool. The default install will add SAMBA
but if it had not been installed it will automatically install it
for you with this selection.”
