Howdy
So are you planning on setting samba up as a domain controller? or just 
as a file server? do you already have a domain controller? is it NT? do 
you want to migrate from current PDC to Samba PDC? or would you start 
from scratch? You do know roaming profiles are the most evil thing in 
the universe (Recked my settings after logging into someone elses 
machine, logged out it saved my profile, logged back into my machine and 
I had to spend a day getting it back in shape)?

Samba acting as a file server is a walk in the park.

The samba.org webbie is the best starting point out there.
But I used my trusty google.com.
