Hi,

Here's my smb.conf file:

[global]
   workgroup = MYGROUP
   server string = Samba Server
   hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
   load printers = yes
   log file = /var/log/log.%m
   max log size = 50
   security = user
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY
   dns proxy = no

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = no
   writeable = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /var/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   guest ok = no
   writeable = no
   printable = yes

[myshare]
   comment = Test
   path = /usr/somewhere/shared
   valid users = george
   public = no
   writeable = yes
