The Samba Server from the IPAQ Familiar distribution has not been changed, but
there are a few things you need to do to get it to work (at least with
Windows, i haven't tested with anything else):

1. Read /usr/local/samba/lib/README.server and follow instructions.

2. Change the hostname (Windows doesn't like the SL5000 being called localhost):
   # hostname somehostname

3. So that you can keep this hostname through reboots, edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local
   to set the new hostname at startup

4. Finally add a line to /etc/hosts (probably the following):
   192.168.1.201   somehostname.somedomain   somehostname

   once done, smbd can start.

run /etc/init.d/samba start

Thats it.
Enjoy
