It's on your CD. /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS/samba-blah.rpm I strongly suggest you revise your network as shown below (use fixed width font): gateway ------ firewall ----- hub ----- computer1 || \_____ computer2 | \______ computer3 \_______ computer4 Here's a down and dirty website to set up a Linux Firewall using Mandrake (Red Hat should be similar): http://georgetoft.com/linux/firewall/index.html (this is an old P-120 laptop I had laying around). Understanding you are new to Linux, you might try a single floppy based firewall, like Freesco (http://www.freesco.com/) or Coyote Linux (http://www.coyotelinux.com/). Some people on this list have used Freesco, so you have some support here. I have some Linux Router Project images on my site that are known to work as LRP is notorious for being a bitch to set up. My reasons for this are: 1. With your current set up, you must be very proactive on keeping 4-6 boxes properly patched. My method reduces that to 1 box. You should keep them all up to date as the firewall is not meant to be a stand-alone solution, but it gives the crackers up to 83% fewer boxes to compromise, which lowers your exposure. 2. There have been some security problems with Samba, and running this on the Internet is not a good idea. Neither is using any box with SMB enabled on the Internet a good idea. If you think they are not out to get you, be advised I have had been probed or attacked over 1600 times from 89 different IP addresses in the last three weeks.
