I am still trying to share files with XP (I can see the XP machines from my Fedora but not the other way around).
I read in Samba's web site that SWAT is a GUI for Samba's CFG file - so I downloaded it but RPM fail to install it because liblber & libldap are required.
In http://rpmfind.net http://rpmfind.net/ I found files relevant for Mandrake but not for FC2 which I use. What should I do now? Is it safe/ok to use libs compiled for other distributions? Or is there another solution?
Another thing that bother me is why doesn't RPM go and take the needed files automatically ? I mean all the information is there: the names, the version..
Thanks

As root, in a terminal window, try
yum install samba-swat
yum should try to resolve any dependency issues. The problem may be that the needed packages might not be available in the repositories (in your /etc/yum.conf file).
Once installed, you will have to add a line
swat 901/tcp
to your /etc/services file. Next, start
system-config-services
from a terminal window and check the box for swat. Load your favorite browser and go to
(assuming hostname is localhost).
