Edit the script to suit your needs. The (#, ;) means comment remove them to make the line active. The above printed script is totally functional. You may follow it as a template to configure yours. Each section is explained as follows:

1. [Global]

   Here is where you declare the group name, the NetBios name; how you want this to appear in network neighborhood -the default is set to host name.

   	workgroup = MDKGROUP
   	netbios name =  xxxx
   	server string = Samba Server %v
   

2. [Printer]

   This section enables your printer for samba, required if you need to print to any printer connected to the Linux box.

   	Printcap name = lpstat
   	Load printers = yes
   	Printing = cups
   

   Check at the bottom of this script, there are other options for printers and by default they are enabled.

3. [Logs]

   Enables logging for each machine that connects to samba server

   	Log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   	Max log size = 50
   

4. [Host that are allowed to connect to this server]

   Enter single hosts here if you need it per host or a subnet mask.

   hosts allow  = 168.34.26.62
   

5. Browser control and networking options:

   You may also use per interfaces, note that each interface represenst a complete network (subnet).

   Interfaces = 192.168.12.2 /24		192.168.13.2/24
   

6. [Security]

   Uncomment this line to enable security mode (user level)

   security = user
   

7. [Password]

   Enable the password restriction, forcing it to be number of characters required, as well as the username. Password must be encrypted.

   	password level = 8
   	username level = 8
   	encrypt password = yes
   	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
   

8. [Private home]
