To share directories between UNIX/Linux systems like Ubuntu you should use NFS.

There is information on how to do the setup for NFS on Ubuntu at:

Why are you doing Samba if the share is between Linux servers? As I noted above NFS is the share used between UNIX/Linux servers. Samba is to allow you to share to (or use shares from) Windows rather than UNIX/Linux.

One command isn't magically going to do it, you need to set aside some time to prepare the configurations. As MensaWater said, you don't need Samba to connect between Linux/*BSD machines. It would simply be a waste of resources and hard drive space. Just use NFS.

How many machines will share the folder - do all have the same users defined with unique uid’s along the machines?

Sometimes using ssh and FUSE is already sufficient.
