[Andrew Woodhead <andrew.woodhead666@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not just use /etc/samba/smb.conf ?

simply add this sort of thing to share a folder:

[DOWNLOADS]
path = /home/andy
comment = Some stuff
browsable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
hide dot files = yes
guest ok = no
invalid users = root bin daemon nobody named sys tty disk mem
valid users = andy

as an example from my file server sharing my universal home folder, people
get so tied up on gui tools when the conf file can be easily learned,
especially as the file is so humanly readable.
