SV: SV: [Samba] Problem regarding installation

[Christian Barth]

RedHat 7.0?
If you choose the standart installation of RH a software firewall 
will be installed blocking the ports needed for samba. Have you 
choosen security = low during the redhat install? If not, look for 
ipchains or iptabels.
