vendor and stack, and the release of SAMBA you have currently installed, 
it is more possible that you will get wrong answers than correct ones.

Standard text file.

Same as on UNIX, you have to set them up as foreign commands.

Putting this on a newsgroup or mailing list posting is silly, and if 
taken seriously would require that no one answer your questions.
