Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf - BUT - make a backup copy of that file to 
smb.conf.orig first.  There's a lot of useful info in there that you 
may well want to read later, and it's too easy to lose it all, 
especially if you edit in Webmin.  Webmin is a great tool, but it 
does overwrite the existing file.

It comes as standard with Mandrake distros, but it's not installed by 
default.  Use Mandrake Control Center > Software Management to find 
and install it.  It can be accessed from a browser by 
https://localhost:10000 (notice that it is http*s*)  or from a root 
console by just typing Webmin.  You have to give a root password to 
use it.  You'll see tabbed pages with links to configuration files 
for a huge number of programs.
