Samba configuration

Jan 14th, 2007

Ok, feel free to move this to the networking forum

Basically I have a debian etch server up and running and have installed samba but the bad news is my meddling has deleted the smb.conf file. Can anyone give me one suitable for the following setup

no security - full read and write access including ability to create / del dirs with no login required

workgroup = mshome
share = /shared

clients are all xp home ed

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Dani gives an example of a smb.conf in her Red Hat Samba tutorial.

Perhaps you want something like this?
