I have not yet configured Samba on my new debian installation,
but here is the /etc/smb.conf file (minus many commented out
pieces) that I used successfully from
my previous (RedHat) installation to export a linux directory
( /dospub ) to a Windows 95 box. I believe I had to add 'dos'
as a user and probably make 'dos' the owner of the /dospub
directory.
I hope this helps get you started.
