You have to really understand it and there are so many options that it
becomes difficult to find your way through. I have seen quite a few people
who attempted to do it but relinquished in between. Somehow, I survived  ;-)
SO I REALISED HENCE THE REQUEST FOR HELP.....

> Considering this, I have written a generic smb.conf which should serve the
purpose of a person who is just starting out on linux. And in order to  make
it work, just 2 fields need to be changed: netbios name & workgroup.
VERY HELPFULL TNAH YOU.....

> I have put a lot of comments in this file to make the user comfortable
with the fields that have been used in that file. I am not an expert of
samba (or of anything for that matter), but I have given it a try and my
effort has been focused on to writing a file that gives the services that  a
user may normaly want (for something extraordinary, he'll obviously have
> to write it himself) from samba.

> As I pointed out, I am not an expert of samba. Will somebody have a look
at the file (shares, comments etc.) and point out the shortcomings/suggest
the additions/deletions etc. etc..
I SURE SHALL  KEEP U POSTED OF MY EXPERIANCE...

concerned, I'll send you the smb.conf today, as I am writing the final
