Thank you Tiago and Kevin, Turns out I needed to turn the samba service on!......After restart, I was able to get into SWAT no problem. Hopefully, things will go smoothly from here. :-) Bye the way Shane, I guess I didn't download the right Samba package, hence the error. The Redhat Samba rpm installed without any problems. Thank you Shane for your help. If I have any other configuration problems, you will be sure to hear from me! Laura
