SAMBA (for *nix) is the equivalent of PEER SERVICES (for OS/2). PEER Services
consists of both the SERVER and CLIENT code. You need PEER SERVICES running to 
be able to connect an OS/2 CLIENT to resources served from a SAMBA Server.

One point to watch out for is that the PEER SERVICES machines is configured in 
the SAME DOMAIN (or WORKGROUP) as the SAMBA machine. If they are in different
DOMAINS, then they will not be able to see each other... Then you need to
consider the User profiles you are going to login in with...

Cheers........pk.
