Answer 1

use "smbstatus" to check the service status. On smb: \ prompt use cd, lcd, del linux shell commands for manipulation.
give the command to start stop samba
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start|stop
on linux client use this mount command to share
#mount -t smbfs //215.157.0.1/homes /mnt/test -o username=uname, dmask=777, fmask=777 /// these are for permissions.

And this is very difficult to provide you point to point description of samba setup but use these links.
