For providing the samba service, yes. You should also edit the samba
server configuration file called smb.conf. In gentoo this is located
in /etc/samba, but in irix would probably be someplace
like /usr/local/samba/conf. You do not need to have these services
running if you already have a windows box on your network (xfsamba does
not need them, it uses the binaries smbclient and nmblookup).

1-xffm-readable.png: looks ok.
2-xffm-unreadable.png: incorrect status line. Does this also happen with
tree elements beneath the roots?
3-xfce4-fm_multi_byte_normal: looks ok.
4-xfce4-fm_multi_byte_shroten: definitely wrong. The line should not be
shortened because it is not even long. 
5-xffm-smb_plugin: looks ok.

I will test the attached directory names. I cannot see the japanese
characters, only little boxes with unicode bytes in them, but that
should be enough to correct the errors.
