You should edit. /etc/samba/smb.conf like below.

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

[shared]
       comment = Home Directories
       browseable = yes
       path = /home/
       guest ok = yes
       readable = yes
       writable = no
;       valid users = %S
;       valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S
[ateke]
       comment = Home Ateke
       browseable = no
       path = /home/ateke
       writable = yes
       guest ok = no

As you see there are two shared folders. One of them is readonly and
the other one is writable. Also you should add a samba user for access
from windows. For this you can use

smbpasswd --help for options.
