hi...

i'm in need of a way to access data on the hard drive of one linux box,
from another linux box. i've seen reference to setting up samba as a way
to accomplish this. information that i've seen from google doesn't give
me a good/quick way of setting this up??

does anybody have any pointers/comments on how to set this up, so i can
have multiple systems able to share/access the hard drives on the
various machines...???

also, does anyone have an idea as to how i can run a perl command/app on
machine "A" while i'm on machine "B"?

i have linux rh8.0 with perl 5.8. i also appear to have samba in the
services, although it doesn't appear to be installed.

thanks
