Hi Gabriel M Dragffy!

Samba has a lot of ways to do things so a simple "here is symptom what
is answer"  is unlikely.

Probably easiest way is to grab a manual (see link):

# Samba how to!
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

Go to chapter 2 and choose an example close to what you want to do and
follow it.

Please let us know how it worked out!

Thanks!

Tod
