It sounds like you downloaded the Samba source, and that's not what you want right now. Use yum install samba. That will find the correct RPM for your machine on a RedHat (or other trusted) server, download it, and install it for you. If yum gives you a message about not having permissions, use sudo yum install samba. If that says sudo: command not found, type su to switch to the root user, then yum install sudo samba. Remember to log out of root (logout or ctrl-d) as soon as you can; you shouldn't do more as root than you need to.

My RedHat is not registered,
# yum install samba
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use su
bscription-manager to register.
Setting up Install Process
No package samba available.
Nothing to do
Is there a way to install without the yum command, like the question above "is there an RPM file buried in there somewhere I can run?"
