Also, on a newly installed SuSE 9.2 system, is there any reason why YaST should not be completely sufficient to get SAMBA working? Depends on what you want samba to do, if I remember correctly then YaST doesn't have the "tools" to setup samba as a PDC, or BDC. Or to use LDAP as an auth server. For that, you need SLES or to edit the files directly.
That is, is there any possible setup parameter for SAMBA that would need me to edit the files directly? Yes.
I haven't even considered printing yet; just file/directory shares, so this config must be about as simple as it gets for SAMBA, right? If you have the printer on the same machine as samba, then I don't think you need to do anything. The default samba, exports the printcap file and thus it's ready to accept printing ... unless the rights aren't correctly setup by default, then you'd need to edit the configuration. Adding file shares is simple, YaST can handle that easily.
You don't need to do anything to make samba a server, as all samba machines are servers ... only thing you need to do, is to add shares in YaST. And it's also appropriate to have the workgroup the same for both samba machines, it simplifies browsing. Just setup a different netbios name for each machine.
