what are you trying to do?
is this so your workstations see Linux file volumes, etc?

i recall term samba enabled, so windows machines can see Linux volumes.
you have to determine which users are samba enabled.
you should be able to see samba settings in imanager and thus samba enable a user there.
and yes I believe you have to install samba.

it has been years, ours is already setup.

see if this helps:
