No problem at all. In /etc/samba/smb.conf you will need something like my stanzaHiya
Of my 80gb Hdd I've got 65gb set up as my /home partition.
What I'd like to do is setup 40gb or so of that as a Samba thing.
I'm off for a look on the web, is the above feasable etc?
I'd like the drive to be used for storage inside the network (behind a NAT Router).

Remember that anyone who is going to be a samba user will need an account on your box (just set up a user for each) and then you need 'smbpasswd add' + username which will then prompt you for passwords. In the case of win98 the user's login is sent as password. W2K and XP I believe can enable you to set a different one.

You can also set up shares that are guest accessable, for people that are not Samba users. And then deside what shares are accessable to guests. You can also have shares that guests can read, but not write to.
Windows 98 will also handle shares that have a different password then your login password. Changing them involves opening up control-pannel Passwords, and picking other passwords. You get asked for the password the first time you try to access the share, and are offered the option of remembering it. In any case, it will remember the password untill you log out, if you select not to have Windows remember it.
