On a CENTOS box how do I configure SAMBA to share directorys to my Windows Server 20003 box?

I have a FreePBX installation with a stripped down CentOS core and no GUI for the OS. It appears to have Samba installed:

[root@localhost asterisk]# yum list | grep samba
samba.i386 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 installed
samba-common.i386 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 installed
samba-client.i386 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 updates
samba-swat.i386 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 updates
sblim-cmpi-samba.i386 0.5.2-35.el5 base
sblim-cmpi-samba-devel.i386 1-35.el5 base
sblim-cmpi-samba-test.i386 1-35.el5 base
system-config-samba.noarch 1.2.41-5.el5 base
[root@localhost asterisk]#

So, now how do I configure samba to allow sharing of specific directories?

For example, how do I share /etc/asterisk and /var/log/asterisk so I can use text editing tools and search tools on the Windows server? Thanks, Harold

PS: I am not sure I want to do the Kerboros thing joining the domain, the Asterisk and FreePBX users are all set up and working nominally well, will trying to join the domain mess them up? Thanks!

Ah, yes, SCP & SSH, thanks for reminding me, it has been a long time. I have to admit that is a better strategy for a dedicated system with no GUI and sensitive files. I have UltraEdit, which preserves the UNIX format, but this is safer and better. Thanks!
