Hey,

After playing with Samba through the years, reading tidbits of documentation
and howto's, nothing compares to the documentation in the Official Samba
Howto. I was having plenty of problems and decided to have a look in this
book, before I did anything more with Samba I simply read it from start to
finish (only skipping the sections relating to Active Directory due to it
being expiremental and likely to change, and I wanted something stable and
tested well).

So, read the Official Samba Howto:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/
It's the best.
