smb.conf file

Hi, i have a network set up and i want to use samba to share the home directories between 3 different computers. I was wondering if anyone would know what would need to go into the smb.conf file in order to do this? And also would i need to edit the smbpasswd or any other file?

Thanks for any help,
Matthew

PHP Code:



 
[global] 
    workgroup = blackbox 
    netbios name = black 
    domain logons = yes 
    dns proxy = no 
    security = user 
    encrypt passwords = yes 
    server string = Samba Server %v 
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.m% 
    max log size = 50 
    log level = 2 
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 
    wins support = true 
    smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd 
    load printers = yes 
    printing = cups  
    printcap name = cups 
    lock directory = /var/lock/samba 
    use client driver = yes 
[homes] 
    public = no 
    browseable = no 
[you] 
    dir = /home/you 
    valid users = you 
    browseable = no 
    create mask = 0755

And you'll need to create the equivalent users in Linux as well as sync them to the smbpasswd file as well as make them samba users. How to do this escapes me at the moment but just google the samba docs.
