Nope. This shouldn't be a problem.

Nope. You'll just want to review the Masquerading and NET HOWTO's - in

You have to set the "create mode = xxx" for the share. Refer to the docs.

System startup is in /etc/init.d
User startup is /etc/profile and $HOME/.bash_profile, etc.

It _is_ user-friendly. It's just not ignorant-friendly or idiot-friendly.
