With all due respect, if you're struggling with the documentation, Samba is
not the place to be. Samba, IMHO, is one of the more difficult programs to
configure. I've yet to find "an easy way" to configure Samba. SWAT caused
more problems than it fixed, and the varying iterations of SMB are a pain in
the ass. Win95 does it one way, Win98 another, Win2k a third way, etc...
The writing in Securing and Optimizing Linux: RedHat edition is fairly well
polished. It has an acceptable section on Samba.
Check this over:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/solrhe/Securing-Optimizing-Linux-RH-Edition-v1.3
/chap29sec280.html
Also, the SMB HOW-TO is decent:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO.html
What book are you referring to?
Regards,
Nathan
