No problems Simon.

I'd also suggest having a read through the first few chapters of this book:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/

It's available both in paper for purchase (all proceeds go back to the
Samba dev team) or online.  I have it in book format, and find it one of
the most useful resource books around.

Instead of waffling on about theoretical setups, it gives practical
examples starting off from a small home-office with a few people, right
up to a multi-site, fully authenticated enterprise.  It covers all
aspects of a Samba setup from the technological requirements through to
the political pitfalls.

Included within are actual real-world smb.conf files (not just snippets
or hard-to-read man files).

I just can't recommend the book highly enough.  If all technical books
were written like this, people like me would be out of the job. :)
