There is a good chance that your distribution already sets up reasonable
defaults. However, you may want to set up SWAT to administer Samba.
Among its strengths is a good help system that goes into a reasonable
amount of detail about the various options.
As for losing connections, you may want to set the log level to 10 then
see what gets reported (restart Samba after changing the log level).
