I have a red hat 6.2 workstation using helix gnome. I have a drive I want to share out on the network. The system logs in to the network without issue. I can get out on the net. I have created the directories I want shared, created the group I need, and added the members and given them rights to this folder, however I can't tell if I am doing this at a local level or network. How do I get the share setup to beable to be accessed via the network, and not show up in network neighborhood? I want the share to be able to be accessed by this spedific group an no one else. I am a newbie to linux and extreme newbie to linux on a network. Any help would be apriciated. Thanx!!

Maybe use SAMBA? The two daemons that run are called smbd and nmbd, they should be in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ folder, you can do a:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/./smb status
to see if it is going. If not change that status to start:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start

Edit your /etc/smb.conf file to preference. Be sure to place your box's workgroup into the same as your Windows workstations in the smb.conf file.
