[global]
	workgroup = simpsons
	server string = Samba Server Version %v
	netbios name = homer
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	security = user
	cups options = raw

then
[share]
	comment = common
	path = /share
	read only = no
;	browseable = yes
	guest ok = yes

(I'm guessing ; is a precursor to a comment? Unclear
from http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html)


]$ ls -al /share

I think that is 'as it should be'?
I haven't found a clear windows 7 setup as yet.
