Yes, use Samba. The URL is ttp://www.samba.bst.tj/samba/samba.html~

The version that comes with Red Hat is a touch old,  you might want to~
consider downloading the newest version if TOP notch security and~
performance are a concern.  The stock version should be fine for light/home~
use however.  They implemented opportunistic locking just about two months~
ago,  and it is much faster than before. I've got the "Samba" book,  if you
want to borrow that come to the next meeting.  It's much better than getting
glassy eye'd reading man pages.
