Ahh, another person who despite RTFMing needs a good example -- sounds
like me! :-) BTW, I found my example in the Linux Journal.
Here's what you need to do, create a system user (see 'man adduser')
named whatever you want. I made the user to be "network" to share my
/home/ftp/pub subdirectories with my Windows machines. Then edit your
/etc/smb.conf to include something like the following:
[network]
comment = Public directories
path = /home/ftp/pub
public = yes
writable = no
printable = no
guest ok = yes
Users will then just need to map this to a drive on their Windows
machines and they'll have access. Of course, you can change some of the
parameters above if you'd like, just consult Samba's doc/man page.
Obligatory disclaimer: if anyone sees something I overlooked and/or
shouldn't be doing, etc., please let me know! :-)
