samba - Oct 2002 - Need installation help of SAMBA on UNIX Sun- Solaris version 8 platform

Dear Mr. Andrew Tridgell,


I am new to samba.  I understood that it allows you to share the files 
from Microsoft windows env. and UNIX environment.

I need to install the software on my UNIX machine. 

Do I need the license?

I downloaded the following file. 

 samba-latest.tar.gz  I copied to UNIX env. and gunzip and tar to extract all
the files.  Is
this correct step? 

I will appreciate, if you can guide me regarding installation procedures 
and documents.

Thank You,

Jay Shah

Re the licence...which funny enough it says clearly on the front page..

Samba is freely available under the GNU General Public License.

Read http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/GPL.html

P.S. please note HTML e-mails make baby Jesus cry.

Samba is released un the GNU General Public License v2.
See the file "COPYING" in the root of the source distribution you 
downloaded.

Yes.  See the docs/htmldocs/UNIX_INSTALL.html instructions
and the O'Reilly Samba book included in docs/htmldocs/using_samba
