Thank you Carl S and Mike B. I found and can use SWAT (the web-based SAMBA gui). I have put in some stuff, but am not sure about the smbpasswd file, or how to work with it. Some of the literature I've read seems to indicate it is an executable, perhap a gui like SWAT. If so, I can't find it. i also now have access to Comanche, but all I can seem to do with it is open another instance of Apache, not really configure Apache. This is from the Suse 7.3 package. Has anyone else had this experience, and is there a workaround?
