Smb.conf

smb.conf is the configuration file for samba. A typical smb.conf might look like this:

[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = My Samba Server wins support = yes [homes] path = /home/%u/share valid users = %S browseable = no   writable = yes create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 [printers] comment = Samba Printer browseable = no   writable = yes path = /var/spool/samba [public] path = /public browseable = yes writable = yes

There are lots of configuration tools (like swat) that will ease construction of smb.conf
