Hi Jim. If you go to www.samba.org, you will find a lot of 
documentation, including the Samba Howto Collection and Samba by 
Example. While they are generally geared towards Samba v3.0.x, the bulk 
of the advice and examples are good for your version as well.

A basic question you need to answer however is the role your server is 
to play. Is it a domain controller or a member server? I suspect it is 
the latter, based on your organization.

You can also try installing and using SWAT. I've found it to be pretty 
good for basic setup.

Good luck.
