Installation

aptitude install samba

Configuration

Changes in default smb.conf:

[global]
- interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.33.32/27
- bind interfaces only = yes
[homes]
- read only = no
- create mask = 0600
remove [printers] & [print$] sections (printers will be handled via cups)

Add own sections as needed:

[section_name]
   comment = Section description
   path = /what/to/share
   read only = Yes/No

Example for public read only share for e.g. to be used by OpenELEC:

[public_read_only]
   comment = Section description
   path = /what/to/share
   read only = Yes
   guest ok = Yes

smbpasswd -a username # will ask for SMB password
smbpasswd -e username # enables this user
