I've been working on setting up Samba on a Fedora C3 device. I am closer to
a newbie. I had some initial access issue that disappeared when I disabled
the FC3 firewall. With it disabled, everything seems to be working great all
the way around.

My next step is to configure the firewall so I can turn it back on and have
everything in good shape. Can anyone point me to any good online resources
that cover configuring the firewall for a machine with Samba and that has
multiple NICs? Haven't decided yet if we want Samba available on both or
just one NIC, so any reasources that cover such a setup would be
appreciated!
