For ease of use you might want to consider downloading smb4k, a frontend for controlling smb.

Otherwise you should edit your smb config file, it's probably located in /etc/samba/smb.conf

mine looks like this:
Code:
[global]
        workgroup = thuis
        password server = None
        username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
        server string = Mainserver
        netbios name = MAINSERVER

[gero]
        path = /home/gero
        writeable = yes
        guest ok = yes
but this is VERY basic
