the equivalent to yast is yum

I recommend installing yumex (via yum..... as root, yum install yumex) which gives you a nice GUI.

Add/Remove is pitiful, yumex (or kyum) is the way to go

As for GUI samba tools, they're all there in the menu, I forget where exactly because I only use it once every year and they keep changing the darned location LOL. If you're running KDE they may not appear in the GUI, just type system-config-(tab) and something will auto complete that sounds right
