Perhaps you did not search well enough.

Anyway, heres a basic configuration..
Before setting up samba, you need to know two things. 1. Your windows workgroup
and 2. The directory on linux that you want to share.
 
This is what goes into your smb.conf..
 
[global]
workgroup=YOURWORKGROUP
encrypt passwords = YES
 
[share1]
path=/home/anhb/myshare
 
Once you do that, create a samba user with smbpasswd -l
Restart samba and your through.
