This was a clean install, however I had some problems with my CD's so I did this incrementally - after ma,ing sure I could duplicate the CDs successfully with no errors.
I first performed a base install with minimum graphics, then KDE, then Samba.
After this did not work I went to Yast - Install Software, filtered by Selections and then chose "Network Server" which installed a lot of other stuff too (LDAP, DHCP, etc.). I was not interested in the other server packages, but thought maybe that is what it took to get the Samba configuration tabs. <-snip->
Richard, IMHO, an incremental install caused by problem CDs isn't exactly a "clean" install, is it? Yes, the system may have been clean at the start, but the procedure deviated from the norm, or 'default.' I think you've installed services without installing the modules YaST uses to configure them. This distinction is important. I'm pretty certain you can have services installed for manual configuration and not install the corresponding YaST components. Here's another suggestion: In "Install & Remover Software," try filtering by Packages, instead of Selections. In the left panel, scroll all the way down to System->YaST. "yast2-samba-server" will have a check mark in the box if it is installed. I don't know what else to suggest beyond this. - Carl
