Our ERP software runs a GUI telnet client from our Windows stations to the Linux box, so I'm guessing SAMBA gets involved.  Here is our smb.conf file:

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        server string = ERP Server
        security = SHARE
        password server = None
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        printcap name = /etc/printcap
        dns proxy = No
        create mask = 0666
        directory mask = 0777
        guest ok = Yes
        cups options = raw
        load printers = yes
        printing = cups

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
        browseable = No

[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

This .conf file was copied over from our RHEL 3 box.
