Samba is not easy in part because one is trying to emulate one system model on top of a very different model. The samba Howtos do give some basic configurations for simple access (just cut and paste).
Samba+SWAT is not really targetted at the home user, but more for sys admins looking after mixed Windows and Linux environments. SWAT for the home user is a case of taking a sledgehammer to a walnut. I also hope that you have port 901 blocked on the firewall as the above option effectively gives anyone a complete open house on your linux box. It is quite possible for someone to redefine samba access with SWAT in such way that they get can get that access.
