This is a working smb.conf for Red Hat 8.0 providing
SHAREd level access to printer and files.
Notes:
1) In an XP environment, the default workgroup is mshome. You should change the workgroup name in global to reflect the default workgroup name so you don't have to go looking for your SAMBA shared resources.
2) Make sure you create Shared folder at the root of you Linux file system. Do this by doing a [cd /] and then a [mkdir Shared]. Change the ownership of Shared to nobody by doing a [chgrp nobody Shared] and a [chown nobody Shared]. After copying or editing your smb.conf file in /etc/samba to reflect the contents of this configuration file, be
sure to start or restart your samba service with the command [service smb start] or [service smb restart].
