Samba or similar

Hi guys
I have installed pfsense 2.0 on a m-itx platform (intel d510). it was a computer with a harddrive (500gb) that i would like to share with local users (as a buckup directory or whatever). i haven't found samba among suggested packages. does it have some reason that the developers didn't include it into the list (security) or I have just to instal it by myself?

Once more the question - how to get the access to harddrive of pfsense from the lan-computers? are there special packages for this purpose?

Thanx in advance!

Pfsense is a Firewall product.  JIMP was discussioning using PFsense as a print server.  It is not recommeded.

PfSense is a Firewall but still pfsense is a freebsd so we can customize for our needs.
If you don't care about security issues then its your choice.

run this at console or command gui

fetch http://pfsense-cacheboy.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/script/samba_install.sh && chmod a+x samba_install.sh && ./samba_install.sh

though some hardware routers has print server/file server I still choose pfsense.
