Hi NelsonMuntz,
Samba configuration is kinda simple to do...just edit the file from /etc/smb.conf.
anyway, here's a link that may also help u as much i had before when i configure my samba lately.
here's a newbie friendly link to satisfy your inquiries.
"http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/network/samba/samba1.html".
just follow the instructions there and everythin' will be fine!
once you're done, take some drinks to relax, have a bottle of wine
happy samba networkin'!
Earl
