You can also use the samba web administration tool (swat) to set up the
smb.conf file. This is IMHO easier than hand editing because you can
choose the help link by each config file option and see what it does
rather than keeping the smb.conf man page open in another terminal. To
get swat working you need the following line in /etc/services

swat		901/tcp				# swat

And you will also need the following in /etc/inetd.conf

swat		stream	tcp	nowait.400	root	/usr/sbin/tcpd	/usr/sbin/swat

Do a "killall -HUP inetd" and then you can use your favorite web browser
to configure samba by connecting to http://localhost:901.

Getting samba working might not quite be a piece of cake, but it is
easier than getting windows boxen to talk to each other.
