If you mean what I think you mean then the answer is: of course!
If you add users to your system after you install samba, then you will 
need to run something like #smbpasswd username -a
Did you ever try Fedora? I'm running Fedora 6 on my main samba server 
and configured it using the GUI. I wonder if that GUI could be ported to 
Ubuntu? I only say because it is simple and works well, so what's the
