I have just downloaded the samba-3.6.1.tar.gz file from the Samba website and want to install Samba on my RedHat Linux machine, I have extracted the contents of the samba-3.6.1.tar.gz folder but havent a clue what to do now, is there an RPM file buried in there somewhere I can run?

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?"

Are you sure that you want to use RHEL and not CentOS? As far as I know, you have to pay for RHEL updates.
