These are the dependencies for package samba:

$ sudo aptitude show samba
Package: samba
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1
Priority: optional
Section: net
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 18.3M
Depends: samba-common (= 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.1), libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1), libattr1 (>= 2.4.41-1), libc6 (>= 2.8), libcap2 (>= 2.10),
libcomerr2 (>= 1.01), libcups2 (>= 1.4.0), libgnutls26 (>= 2.7.14-0), libgssapi-krb5-2 (>= 1.7dfsg~beta1), libk5crypto3 (>=

libpam-runtime (>= 0.76-13.1), libpam-modules, lsb-base (>= 3.2-13), procps, update-inetd, adduser

You will need to have all of them installed as well ... and I'm not sure how to do it easily; you might have to check each one and copy it over and install it separately.

Take a look at this guide:

Here is how to do the same thing in Synaptic:

Or download the packages with Keryx (http://keryxproject.org).

I have just succeeded using this method in jaunty 9.04:

Download the 7 files below from the Internet where access is possible, the upper 6 files from:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/
and the last samba file from:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcepub/535715/+listing-archive-extra

On the Ubuntu machine, assuming you are logged on as user 'myuser' create this file structure in /home/myuser/UbuntuRepositories/repository/


|
|_dists
| |_ jaunty
| |_____ main
| | |_____binary-i386
| | |________Packages.bz2
| | Packages.gz
| | Release.txt
| |_____Contents-i386.gz
| Release.gpg
| Release.txt
|
|_pool
|_main
|_s
|_samba
|_____samba_3.3.2-1ubuntu3_i386.deb


Now run Synaptic Package Manager:
Settings, Repositories
Turn off all Downloadable and CD-Rom
Go to Third Party Software tab
Click +Add
type:
deb file:///home/myuser/UbuntuRepositories/repository jaunty main
+Add Source
Ensure this item ticked, Close
(if you go back & edit you will see URI of file:///home/myadmin/UbuntuRepositories/repository and Dist as jaunty, and Components as main)

Reload

Find 'samba' in the list of packages & check it.
Apply

You can now share folders.
I have not checked the security implications - but clearly one should be cautious of allowing write access...

I hope this helps.

The 'pool' directory part & the samba file were discovered when the package Manager failed without it - the file found with a Google search.
