Some may argue that for a small home LAN it might not be necessary to do
the PDC thing. It takes little extra time to setup and there are
advantages using the Domain model - wrt Doze, i.e.
Unfortunately, Samba documentation seems to lag somewhat, the principles
are the however the same:

There's a good Samba resource from the University of Oregon called "The
Unofficial Samba HOWTO" (http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html)
(This is a great doc)
Using Samba as PDC
Nice article in the Feb 2002 edition of Linux Magazine,

Should you wish to use a GUI tool to configure Samba, you are IMHO
better off with Webmin. The last time I looked, SWAT removed all of the
usefull comments from smb.conf
