I am new to Linux and have RHEL which is not registered so I can not install apps with the "yum" command for Samba.
Registering RHEL is out of the question so is downloading and installing any outside programs.
Is there any way I can create a domain so that I can make a Admin group and add users in there so that we can send files to each other without using a password from the "scp" command or having a key such as "ssh-keygen" command.
Is there a built-in program that I can set one up?

Download CentOS 6 (or 7 pre-release if you're adventurous) and use that instead.

Change to CentOS, it is 100% binary compatible with RHEL, except it doesn't have the support. But you don't get the support if you don't register it anyway. That way you will have access to yum and be able to install all the packages you want. After that the Arch Linux wiki is a great place to get info on configuring different packages although there may be some slight variations for CentOS.

Also for ssh connections (which scp uses) you should ALWAYS use RSA keypair authentication as it is the most secure way to connect the two machines. Again the Arch Linux wiki will help you out setting this up,
