I just hand code smb.conf files and and when needed. the one below has been working just fine for years and is currently working on my local LAN at home on a 10.04 server with Ubuntu clients and one lone XP VM. When you first configure samba, you do have to add a user to the smbpasswd store using: smbpasswd -a username But after the first one is done I believe it is automatic (this might not be true I don't ever recall having to add additional users manually). FWIW, the [* Store] shares are quite interesting in that they act like a one-way dropbox. My family can *add* pictures, music etc, but they cannot delete. Just in case, if you know what I mean.
