Look at installing SWAT, which is a web-based configuration tool for 
Samba.  Once installed, you can use this tool to configure your Samba 
setup via point & click.  (It lives at http://your.samba.machine:901)  
It's still a good idea to get a few books or articles so you'll know 
what you're doing, but SWAT might make it easier to figure out what's 
possible.
