type "su"
type root password
type "vim /etc/samba/smb.conf" (replacing vim with whatever editor you choose...pico may be good for you)
If you get no file, you may have to try "locate smb.conf" to find its location.

Another option is to install SWAT, which gives you a web-based graphical interface to smb.conf
