I *HIGHLY* recommend John Terpstra's book ``Samba-3 by Example'' available in a dead-tree version, and also as a PDF available for free download from samba.org. The PDF is more recent than the hard copy. John is a member of the core samba development team, and has many examples taken from his real-world installations. The hard copy version has a CD with everything from the book, and I would bet that these examples are available from the samba.org web site as well.
