or get the redhat-config-samba package for RHL 9 (works fine on RHL 8).

Hi Kid,

use this in smb.conf

[myshare]
comment = Krishna's share
path = /var/www/html/mail (Your path)
public = yes
writable = no
browsable = yes
create mask = 0765

Add any unix user and then create a samba account

smbadduser unixuser:unixuser
then,
smbpasswd unixuser

and then try to connect!

regards
Krishna

Also set the password.
